Easy Garlic Knots – its like a ” Love Language ” in my house ! Haha – Who Doesn’t love, ( and Crave ) a good garlic knot? ( Or Garlic bread, or stick etc. ) . Even though I know we can all make better choices – this is a must have recipe to keep for whenever you are looking for a simple, fast easy way to whip some up in a hurry.
This Easy Garlic Knots Recipe is also one that you can tweak, modify and add to , the varieties are endless. They go Great with Spaghetti, a roast , pizza and a salad as well as any combo you can think up . You can add bacon bits , or cheese, as well as sausage bits or shredded veggies – again, its limitless .
So lets get started
What you will need ;
1 pound of pizza dough
3 Cloves ( or more haha ) minced garlic
salt
Red pepper flakes ( if you wish )
Olive oil ( or melted butter- the real stuff )
Parsley flakes
Grated Parmesan
( THIS MAKES 16 KNOTS )
SIDE NOTE- THEY DONT HAVE TO BE KNOTS –
These are also so versatile that you can make strips or knots , or twists , of course you catch the drift . I will tell you though – that the knots are pretty fluffy and just how you would find them at your favorite restaurant or take out joint .
So – Now that you have your ingredients all set – Here is what is next —
- You are going to Cut one pound of the pizza dough into 4 pieces & flatten each into a 4 inch square
- Cut each Square into 4 strips, tie each strip into a knot
- Set each knot onto a parchment lined baking sheet
- Brush them all with olive oil ( or melted butter ) and loosely cover with plastic wrap ( not individually)
- Then you will let rise for about an hour or so .
- Then- Uncover and bake at 400 degrees until golden – 12-15 min or so . ( watch them )
- Combine 3 Tablespoons butter, 2 Tablespoons olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves , tsp salt and red pepper flakes – ( and or anything else you are adding ) in a saucepan over Medium heat and cook for 1-2 minutes Toss or brush the knots in the mixture ( dont drowned them! ) and then sprinkle on the Parsley and grated cheese . TADA ! Yum !
In conclusion – What’s Cooking is up to you –
Again , these are very versatile , and you can play with the recipe . I do of course – like them in twists, strips , knots ( even bread ! ) ! And of course , The more garlic the better in this house ! If you want to double the batch – you can just double the ingredients and its works well .
