Description
Warm, fluffy, and brushed with buttery garlic goodness—these Easy Homemade Garlic Knots are not just a side dish, but a comforting experience that elevates any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Start by allowing your pizza dough to come to room temperature if it’s been in the refrigerator.
- Once your dough is ready, lightly flour your work surface to prevent sticking. Divide the dough into small portions, about the size of a golf ball.
- Next, place your knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for expansion.
- While your knots are rising, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- As the knots bake, melt your butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté it for about a minute until it becomes fragrant—don’t let it burn!
- Once the knots are out of the oven and still warm, brush the garlic butter generously over them with your pastry brush.
- Your Easy Homemade Garlic Knots are now ready to be devoured! Serve them warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for a delightful treat.
Notes
Ensure your garlic is minced finely so it evenly distributes flavor throughout the knots.
