Okay. We’re doing a bread thing today. These rosemary seeded bread knots are are simple to make and are perfect for your holiday table or with a hearty soup.

As much as I love bread… like a lot… I don’t really make it very often. But sometimes ya gotta make an exception and heed the call of the dough. Rosemary Seeded Bread Knots are my thing today.

These are a perfect fancy little side dish number  to serve at a holiday buffet party.  Or the main event of Thanksgiving dinner itself. Yes folks, we are almost there!!!! Okay. The thing you need to know about making these little bread knots is that the first knot you make will more than likely look a little more like a coiled snake than a knot. But once you get the hang of rolling that dough, you will find it probably one of the most soothing and meditative experiences of this busy holiday season.

They’re also gonna turn you into a hero at the dinner table. And the biggest reason to make this bread knots is because they are BFF’s with this Miso Sweet Potato Soup. Ahhh… yes the soup and bread combo of winter necessity. Because in between turkey and party food and all the chocolate and just one more mint chocolate mocha, your body is gonna be craving the simple and soothing soup/bread busy weeknight dinner option.

The other time saving/ life giving quality of this bread is that it freezes beautifully. If that’s the busy girl option that you go for, then you want to follow the directions below right up until you actually make the knots. Then, once you’ve rolled the knots, pop them on a tray and place them in your freezer. Once they’ve frozen you can take them off the tray and pop them into a ziplock bag or a container and save them for when you need them most. To bake them after frozen, simply defrost them and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Brush them with egg wash and sprinkle them with seeds. Bake and enjoy with lots of cold butter and hot soup. Happy Winter!
