Description

These Easy and Delicious Garlic Knots are soft, buttery, and full of flavor, made with simple pizza dough and brushed with a garlic herb butter. Perfect as a side, appetizer, or snack for any occasion.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Divide pizza dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and tie into a knot, tucking ends underneath.
  3. Place knots on the prepared baking sheet and let rest for 10–15 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, and salt.
  5. Brush knots with half of the garlic butter mixture.
  6. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove from oven and immediately brush with the remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using.
  8. Serve warm with marinara or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use crescent roll dough or biscuit dough as a shortcut.
  • For extra cheesy knots, sprinkle mozzarella before baking.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to crisp up.
