Can you see the appeal? 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 rich and porky.
And the little bits of Bacon that are actually tied into the knot and covered on both sides by the dough stay soft and moist… but still cook through.
This just might be the dish that defines me.
I love these Bacon yeast rolls so much I would write {I *heart* Bacon Knots} on my hand if my tween daughter wouldn’t roll her eyes at me.
