Bread Machine Garlic Knots
These bread machine garlic knots are extra soft and billowy. Slathered with a garlic butter these are a perfect to snack on dipping them in a marinara sauce or perfect along side your favorite soup. These go perfectly with my Pasta E Fagioli , you will even see that I was serving them with it in the photo. I know these are traditionally made with pizza dough but these are more like rolls and so good. I am from the south and we serve garlic knots with soups and pasta dishes. On a recent trip to the Northeast I got to sample garlic knots in New York and New Jersey . If I lived there I would eat Bagels , Garlic knots and Pizza on a regular basis. There is something special about all of the bread in the Northeast .

Frequently asked questions :
- Can I make these without a Bread machine ? Yes you can but it’s a bit more work . Mix the dough as usual and then knead it for 10-15 minutes or until smooth and elastic like.
- I have a jar of yeast how much should I use? 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast
- Do I have to let the yeast bloom? Yes , this is an important step . You will not only let the yeast dissolve but when it foams up you know it is alive and the yeast is good.
- Do I have to check the temperature of the milk ? Yes , If it is too hot you will kill the yeast
Let’s make some garlic knots !
Fist heat your milk up between 100-110 degrees , careful not to get it to hot or you will kill the yeast. In the well of a bread machine add the warm milk, yeast and sugar. Allow the yeast to bloom for about 15 minutes.
Once the yeast is bloomed add the melted butter and beaten eggs . Then add the flour and salt . Now close the lid , select the dough cycle and let the machine do its magic . It will mix , knead and let the dough rise all in the well.
Once the dough is ready remove it from the well and place on to a floured surface. Cut into twelve strips .
Roll each strip into a long rope and tie it into a knot. Place all of the knots onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover and et the knots rest for about 30 minutes .
Combine the melted butter , garlic and parsley in a small bowl. Brush the dough with the butter mixture coating them well Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes .
These are best served warm with a marinara sauce or along with your favorite soup.

Made the garlic knots! They were awesome! Do you use 1 or2 dough strips to make the knot?
I am so glad you enjoyed these !! I only use one strip per knot.
Thanks! There so good. My husband loved them!
Can I use bread machine yeast?
I have never used bread machine yeast but from what I understand is it doesn’t have to be proofed . I would just skip proofing stage in the recipe.
I often use bread machine yeast, and I proof it with best results.
I am making them today with bread machine yeast
These were good, but I recommend switching steps 8 and 9. If you apply the butter before baking, the knots dry out and are a little bland. The bread itself is very tasty, yet all the best knots I’ve had from restaurants are dripping with melted butter. You could also egg wash the knots before baking.
I wish I knew what I did wrong. After taking out of the bread machine the dough was sooooo sticky I couldn’t work with it
Hey Ally I am sorry you had bad results , I have made this recipe many times and never had this issue. If using a bread machine just make sure your machine lets the dough rise the first time in the dough cycle . Then if it is still sticky I would recommend kneading in a little extra flour before forming the knots .
