Easy Garlic Knots

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

These easy garlic knots are such a delicious and easy to make appetizer or snack.

I love ordering these from pizza places here in Jersey but making them at home is even better.

They are just so fresh and flavorful. I can’t get enough of them.

This truly is the ultimate crowd pleasing appetizer.

It’s hard to resist warm golden brown dough drenched in garlic butter and dunked in warm marinara sauce.

They are just so incredibly good!

I’ve made these for so many family parties and get togethers because they’re a hit every time and easy to prepare.

Using premade pizza dough is a huge time saver.

What dough can I use for these easy garlic knots?

Pizza dough works best for this recipe. You can use your own recipe or purchase premade dough.

I like to get mine from a local pizza place. They usually charge only $2 for a large pizza dough.

It’s always so fresh and you really can’t beat that price either.

Easy garlic knots ingredients

• Prepared pizza dough
• Butter
• Minced garlic
• Fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Garlic powder
• Parmesan cheese
• Tomato sauce for dipping (optional)

Instructions

First, roll the pizza dough flat using a rolling pin and cut it into strips that are about 5 inches long and ½" thick.

Then, knot the dough but keep the knot loose so the dough remains fluffy. Don't tie the knot too tight.

Now place them down onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Next, melt the butter in the microwave and whisk in the fresh garlic, garlic powder, salt, pepper and parsley.

After that, brush the tops of each knot with a thin layer of the garlic butter mixture. There will me a lot left, be sure to keep it for later.

Then bake the knots until the tops are golden brown and the dough is cooked all the way through.

Finally, add parmesan cheese to the remaining garlic butter mixture and toss the cooked knots into butter until they are all evenly coated.

If the butter is too thick and started to harden, pop it into the microwave for 10 seconds to melt it again.

Serve with tomato sauce for dipping (optional) and enjoy!
