Garlic Knots Recipe
Description
This Garlic Knots Recipe starts with pizza dough rolled into ropes and tied into knots, resulting in individual, hand-held portions. Once arranged on a baking sheet, the knots are brushed with a garlic-infused butter flavored with dried Italian herbs and a pinch of salt. Baking at 400°F produces knots with a golden crust and soft interior. After baking, a final brush of garlic butter and a dusting of Parmesan or Romano cheese enhance flavor and add a slight salty finish. Served warm, these knots are excellent alongside pizzas or as a snack complemented by pizza or marinara sauce for dipping.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough store bought or homemade
- 6 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon basil dried
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley dried
- Pinch salt
- 4 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese in the green can, grated, Romano cheese as alternative
- pizza sauce for serving, or marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Cut the pizza dough into 12 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into about an 8 inch long rope. Take the ends of the dough and tie into a knot (over, under, and through). Place each knot on prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and cook the garlic for 1-2 minutes over medium-low heat. Remove from heat and stir in dried basil, oregano, parsley, and a pinch of salt.
- Brush the garlic knots lightly with the garlic butter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the knots are golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle each garlic knot with Parmesan Romano cheese. Serve with warm pizza sauce or marinara sauce.
