These Bread Machine Garlic Knots are soft, buttery, and packed with garlicky goodness. Made with a simple dough prepared in a bread machine and then hand-shaped into knots, they are perfect as a savory snack or a side to your favorite Italian dishes. The knots are brushed generously with garlic butter and baked to a golden perfection, delivering delicious flavor with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 cup warm milk (between 100-110 degrees F)
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1 packet active yeast (approximately 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 4 Tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 egg, well beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all purpose flour

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 8 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1-2 Tablespoons garlic powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 Tablespoon minced parsley

Instructions

  1. Bloom the Yeast: In the well of the bread machine pan, add the warm milk (between 100-110 degrees F), sugar, and yeast. Allow the yeast to bloom for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes foamy and active.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter and the well-beaten egg to the bread machine pan.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients and Start Dough Cycle: Add the flour and salt to the mix. Close the lid and set the bread machine to the dough cycle, letting it knead and rise accordingly.
  4. Shape the Dough: Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
  5. Form the Knots: Roll each portion into a long rope. Fold each rope over itself and tie into a knot shape.
  6. First Rise: Place each knot on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Cover and allow the knots to rise for 30-45 minutes until puffed up.
  7. Prepare Garlic Butter: While the knots are rising, melt the butter in a small bowl and mix in the garlic powder and minced parsley.
  8. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  9. Brush Knots: Generously brush each knot with the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring plenty of garlic flavor on each one.
  10. Bake: Bake the knots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and deliciously fragrant.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of garlic powder to your preferred taste; fresh minced garlic can also be used for a stronger flavor.
  • Using parchment paper on the baking sheet prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Make sure your milk is warm but not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Allow the knots to rise properly to ensure soft and fluffy texture.
  • Store leftover knots in an airtight container and reheat before serving for best taste.
