Garlic Knots are soft, buttery rolls twisted into knots, baked until golden, and coated with a savory garlic-herb butter. Perfect as a side, snack, or appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or 1 tbsp dried Italian herbs
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix and knead until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a strip and tie into a knot.
  5. Place knots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 15-20 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake knots for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Meanwhile, melt butter in a pan and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  8. Remove knots from the oven and immediately toss them in the garlic butter.
  9. Sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan cheese if using. Serve hot with marinara or extra garlic butter.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, but pre-minced garlic can work in a pinch.
  • Try stuffing with mozzarella for a cheesy variation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in oven or air fryer.
  • Use store-bought pizza dough for a quicker version.
  • Brush with garlic butter right after baking to keep them soft.
