Garlic Knots with Pizza Dough

I love to sit on our deck from Spring to Fall and read. I especially love to look through recipes, it’s one of my favorite things to do! I accumulate recipes faster than I can make them so they end up in a binder that I hope to some day get to. I like to look back and pull one out of the pile!

These Easy Garlic Knots were one of those recipes! These are soooo easy to make because the dough is a pre-made pizza dough crust!

This no-fail recipe would go great with Stuffed Shells , Saucy Vegetarian Meatballs , or One Pan Fettuccine Alfredo! They would also work great as a side for pizza. And you could serve them as an appetizer or a party snack for football games!

What You’ll Need

1 8 oz Package of Pillsbury Pizza Dough

2 tbsp Butter, Melted

4 cloves Garlic, Minced

Salt

Parmesan, Grated

Parsley Flakes

How to Make Easy Garlic Knots

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lay out the dough from one 8 oz package of Pillsbury Pizza Dough and lightly tug on the edges to even it out.

Slice the dough into 8 inch strips with a pizza cutter. Tie each strip into a loose knot and set on parchment paper evenly spaced.

Bake for 15 minutes. The knots should be golden brown.

In the meantime, melt 2 tbsp of butter and stir in 4 minced cloves of garlic into the melted butter.

As soon as you take the knots out of the oven, generously brush the melted butter over them. Then sprinkle with salt, grated Parmesan, and parsley flakes.

Garlic – I buy garlic that is already minced to save time!

Brushing the Butter – If you don’t have a way to brush on the melted butter, just dunk the knots into it.

When to Serve – These work great as a side for pizza or pasta. You could also serve them as an appetizer for football games or at holiday meals!
