Garlic Knot Recipe Tips
Can we make dough ahead of time and chill until ready? bake garlic knots as called for in the recipe below… and then bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes until piping hot. Brush with a little extra garlic butter for even more flavor!
Can we use fresh herbs? While this recipe is designed to be a quick and easy appetizer with ingredients you have on hand, it can be used with fresh herbs and is often more flavorful. To use fresh herbs, reduce herbs by 1/3. Fresh herbs offer more flavor than dried herbs, so you'll use less.
Add cheese before baking. We prefer to generously sprinkle rolls with parmesan cheese before baking.
How to cut dough. To quickly cut dough, use a pizza cutter.
How to handle sticky dough. If dough is too sticky to handle, chill in refrigerator until less tacky to the touch.
Serve with butter. For the best flavor, warm up some marinara to dip your garlic knots in – or dip in warmed butter with some garlic powder and parmesan cheese.
