Garlic Parmesan Knots combine crispy, chewy bread with rich garlic butter and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, making a perfect appetizer or snack that is simple to prepare, flavorful, and loved by all ages. These knots are crispy on the outside, soft inside, and coated with a luscious garlic Parmesan butter for an irresistible taste.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • Pizza dough (about 1 lb)

For the Garlic Parmesan Butter

  • 3–4 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about a 12-by-8-inch rectangle, creating the perfect base for cutting and shaping the knots.
  2. Cut and Tie Knots: Slice the dough into strips roughly one-inch wide. Take each strip and tie it into a loose knot, pinching the ends to seal and prevent unraveling during baking.
  3. Bake the Knots: Place the knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
  4. Make the Garlic Parmesan Butter: While the knots bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined and fragrant.
  5. Coat and Serve: Once the knots come out of the oven, immediately brush them generously with the garlic Parmesan butter. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature dough to make shaping easier and ensure even baking.
  • Always use fresh minced garlic instead of powder for a bold flavor.
  • Brush the knots with garlic butter immediately after baking to lock in moisture and flavor.
  • Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning.
  • Don’t skip the fresh parsley; it brightens flavor and adds color.
