Fluffy No-Knead Milk Bread Miso Garlic Knots Recipe By Kat Lieu

Hi friends. I often think about the mom and pop pizzerias of South Brooklyn. In the 90s, the best slices of pizza were about a dollar a slice and a bag of fresh garlic knots was only $2! People always say there’s something about the water in NYC that makes the bagels and pizza just so unique and tasty.

Did you know that garlic knots originated in NYC pizzerias (at least according to Google) in the 1940s? As a New Yorker for over 30 years, I’m ashamed to say I have never baked my own garlic knots before! (Now I am a Washingtonian!) So here you have a former New Yorker baking milk bread garlic knots in her Seattle suburbs kitchen!

What I love about this recipe is that any baker can make this. The dough requires no kneading! You can of course mix it with a stand mixer, but the no-knead way would be to add all the milk bread dough ingredients into a mixing bowl and chop it all into each other with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms! You don’t even have to shape it into a ball before it rises. You can even cold-prove the dough for 24 to 48 hours in the fridge! This will be a wetter, shaggier dough, so when you’re shaping it, you will have to flour your hands and work surfaces!

I love how crispy the top of the knots became, sorta like laminated dough or croissants! These are packed with flavor and umami, so if you’re a fan of garlic knots, be sure to try this super easy, no-tangzhong, no-yudane, no-knead milk bread recipe!

Note: If you want to make these vegan, use vegan butter, plant-based milk like soy or oat milk, and an egg substitute like mashed silken tofu, a flax egg, or 50 g of ripe mashed banana.
