Looking for a simple yet tasty appetizer or side dish? These garlic knots are sure to impress your guests and satisfy your cravings. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Divide the pizza dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 8 inches long.
- Tie each rope into a knot and tuck the ends under the knot.
- Place the knots on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and salt.
- Brush the knots with the garlic butter mixture.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the knots are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve hot, with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired.
Tips:
- If you don't have pizza dough, you can use refrigerated biscuit dough or even homemade bread dough.
- For extra flavor, you can add chopped fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or rosemary to the garlic butter mixture.
- If you want your garlic knots to be softer, you can brush them with a mixture of melted butter and olive oil instead of just butter.
