Parmesan Bacon Knots
Pillowy Parmesan Bacon Knots tied into knots with strips of bacon! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and oh so delightful.
So here’s the deal…
When asked what two foods I could not live without… What two foods I crave day and night.
Bacon and Yeast Rolls are the quick and final answer.
MY OTHER RECIPESI wouldn’t like giving up chocolate or ice cream.
I would be very put out to have to pass on cheese or pasta.
But I could not. Would not. Will never.
Give. Up. BACON.
Or buttery yeast rolls, that perfume my house with the insatiable aroma of toasty wheat.
So obviously, in my book, this is the perfect flavor pairing.
Parmesan Bacon Knots consists of fluffy yeast rolls with nutty parmesan cheese folded into the dough.
The dough is cut into strips.
Rolled into long slender ropes, and tied with a single thin strip of bacon.
(Please note, this might be the one and only time I tell you to buy thin bacon.)
Can you see the appeal of Parmesan Bacon Knots?
As the yeast rolls puff up into golden cushions, the bacon crisps, ever so slightly. Just enough to offer a fatty crust on the outside of the knots, without making them impossible to pull apart.
The dough absorbs the bacon flavor, making the knots ultra rich and porky.
And the little bits of bacon that are actually tied into the knot are covered on both sides by the dough, so they stay soft and moist… But still cook through.
This just might be the dish that defines me.
I love these Parmesan Bacon Knots so much I would write {I *heart* Bacon Knots} on my hand if my teen daughter wouldn’t roll her eyes at me.
Maybe I’m getting a little carried away…
I’ll dial it down by saying, Parmesan Bacon Knots for Easter Brunch? Heck Yeah.
Parmesan Bacon Knots once a week? Now we’re talking.
Parmesan Bacon Knots Forever. You’ll have to make them to understand.
P.S. I’ve got another amazing bread recipe on KitchenAid’s Kitchenthusiast Blog today. “Lava Bread” with Smoked Gouda and Roasted Red Peppers – Come See!

Woah! Bacon, parmesan and bread – it doesn’t get any better than that!
Fun easy idea for Easter Sommer!
Um, BRILLIANT. I have to try these!!
these are FANTASTIC Sommer!!! what a great idea!
Ok, I need to stop what I am doing right now and make these! LOVE!
What?! These are awesome!! I love the idea of using BACON and intertwining it throughout the entire roll!
Did you say BACON?! Oh yes you did. Love the rolls!
These are simply beautiful. And now my mouth is watering. At work!
I’m with you…I would never give up my bacon! And these rolls? I think I just died.
Brilliant, Sommer!
Two of my favorite things in the entire world…. bacon AND bread. You ROCK my world, Sommer!
Not only am I salivating at the thought of bacon-wrapped bread, but the knots are so adorable!
VERY impressed with the knotting on these! mine would have been a hot hott mess lol
This is genius. Bacon bacon bacon. Love it.
So. I need these in my life. Like, pronto!
The best of two worlds combined. Oh my.
These rolls are beyond clever. I am so impressed. And yes I definitely am educated about your passion for bacon. I am laughing here. Two favorite smells are bacon and yeast rolls cooking. Is everyone in your household literally floating, lifted by the delicious smells emanating from the oven?
These are great breakfast, snack, dinner anytime of the day idea! I love the knots! Cheers!
So so so simple, why didn’t I think of this?! I mean, it’s basically perfection. It’s after midnight and I’m salivating on my pillow.
Thanks for the rumbling stomach and the great dreams I’m going to have tonight. I know what I’m making when I get off my diet.
I just pinned these~I would love to make these,but
so afraid of working with yeast and making things like
pizza crust.My Family would LOVE these.
Just today~I made candy-bacon,and my husband raved and raved.
Made some points there. :-)
Thanks~maybe will get the courage.
Perfect for Easter? Perfect for ever. I just happen to have an unopened package of thin bacon and yeast in the fridge along with plenty of flour. Guess what I am making today! Copied and pasted.
Umm….this is brilliant.
There is no way I’ll ever give up bacon. These are absolutely adorable. I’ll take a dozen.
These do look crazy good. I know one man who would go bonkers over these. :-)
Now you have me thinking about the two foods I couldn’t live without. I think cheese would be up there. And seafood… specifically sushi. :-)
Every kind of amazing!
This sounds like the most fantastic flavor combo ever! Soooooo trying these.
An amazing appetizer.. for the next party I will definitely try these. I am sure they are as delicious as they look.
My sister was a vegetarian for 7 years, but the smell of bacon was the thing that got her in the end. Love the step-by-step you gave us here. Thanks, I love these!
These sounds like breakfast, but think I’d also love them with a nice bowl of Chili!
what an inspiration! they look amazing! I’ll try to make them this weekend : )
I can’t add any picture here but… as promised, here they are :)
