Garlic Knots Recipe

Garlic Knots are tender, golden-brown dough pieces tied in knots and brushed with a garlic herb butter. The combination of fresh garlic, dried basil, oregano, and parsley melds in melted butter, while a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or Romano adds a savory richness. These knots bake to a soft texture with light crisp edges and are served warm with pizza or marinara sauce for dipping.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
