Cheesy Garlic Knots are a delicious, easy-to-make appetizer or snack featuring soft pizza dough tied into knots, brushed with rich garlic butter, and topped with melted mozzarella cheese. Perfectly baked until golden and gooey, these knots bring irresistible flavors to your table.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 can refrigerated pizza dough

Topping

  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the knots to a golden perfection.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface, then cut it into strips approximately 1 inch wide to make it easy to tie into knots.
  3. Tie Knots: Take each strip of dough and tie it into a loose knot, making sure the ends are tucked under so they don’t unravel during baking.
  4. Apply Toppings: Brush each knot generously with the melted butter, sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over them, and then add shredded mozzarella cheese on top for a cheesy finish.
  5. Bake: Place the prepared knots on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a nonstick surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the knots are golden brown and the cheese has melted beautifully.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped parsley on top after baking to add color and fresh flavor. Serve warm for the best cheesy garlic experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute shredded mozzarella with a blend of mozzarella and parmesan for a more intense cheesy flavor.
  • For spicier knots, add crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture before brushing.
  • Make sure not to overbake to keep the knots soft and tender inside.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
