About Bread knot

Bread knots, also known as garlic knots when flavored, are small knots of bread dough originating from Italian-American cuisine. Traditionally made from pizza dough, they are baked and often brushed with oil, garlic, and parsley. Nutritionally, bread knots primarily provide carbohydrates, which are the body's main source of energy. They also offer minor amounts of protein and some dietary fiber (depending on the type of flour used). If whole wheat flour is incorporated, the fiber content is higher, making them a more filling snack. Standard bread knots are low in fat unless enhanced with toppings like cheese or butter.

Health Benefits

• Rich in carbohydrates, providing a quick source of energy for the body (approximately 25-30g per knot).
• If made with whole wheat flour, they contribute dietary fiber, supporting digestive health (about 2-3g per knot).
• Contain small amounts of B vitamins such as thiamin and niacin from enriched flour, important for energy metabolism.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten, wheat, dairy (if butter or cheese is added)

Suitable for: Vegetarian

Not suitable for: Gluten-free, low-carb, keto

Selection and Storage

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven to retain texture.

Common Questions About Bread knot Nutrition

Can I eat Bread Knot on a keto diet?

Bread Knots are generally not keto-friendly because they are made from traditional wheat flour, which is high in carbohydrates. A single Bread Knot can contain 15-25 grams of carbs, exceeding the daily carb allotment for most ketogenic diets.

Are Bread Knots healthy or should I limit them?

Bread Knots can be part of a balanced diet when consumed in moderation. They provide energy through carbohydrates, but they are often high in refined carbs and sodium. If you have concerns about blood sugar or heart health, look for whole-grain or low-sodium versions for a healthier option.

What is the recommended portion size for Bread Knots?

The recommended portion size for Bread Knots is typically one knot, which is around 50-70 grams depending on its size. Pairing it with lean proteins and vegetables can help balance the meal and avoid overconsumption of carbs and sodium.

How does a Bread Knot compare to a dinner roll?

Bread Knots are usually smaller and denser than dinner rolls but are similarly made from refined flour. Both have comparable calorie ranges, with Bread Knots slightly more calorie-dense. Dinner rolls may be lighter and less chewy, while Bread Knots often contain richer flavors if coated with garlic butter or herbs.
