Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Bread machine
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or non-stick spray
• Pastry brush

Ingredients Overview

• Bread Flour: Provides structure and chewiness for the knots.
• Yeast: Helps the dough rise. Use active dry or bread machine yeast.
• Garlic: Adds flavor both in the dough and as a topping.
• Butter: For the rich, garlicky topping.
• Milk: Adds moisture and softness to the dough.
• Herbs: Parsley or Italian seasoning enhances the flavor of the knots.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Dough

• Add the following ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer:
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
• Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and let it do the work.

2. Shape the Knots

• Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
• Roll each piece into a rope about 6 inches long and tie it into a knot. Tuck the ends underneath.
• Place the knots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.

3. Let the Knots Rise

• Cover the knots loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.

4. Bake

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Bake the knots for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

5. Garlic Butter Topping

• While the knots bake, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and mix with 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of parsley or Italian seasoning.
• Brush the garlic butter over the hot knots as soon as they come out of the oven.

6. Serve

• Serve warm as a side dish, with marinara sauce for dipping, or alongside your favorite pasta dish.

Recipe Tips

• Use Bread Machine Settings: Follow your machine’s specific instructions for dough preparation.
• Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the knots to ensure they remain soft and fluffy.
• Make Ahead: Shape the knots and freeze them unbaked. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.

What to Serve With This Recipe

• Spaghetti or lasagna for a classic pairing
• A fresh garden salad

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
