Why are garlic knots called garlic knots?
Garlic knots are called garlic knots because it takes the traditional garlic bread flavors, and adds them to bread that’s been tied into a knot.
Quick Garlic Knots Ingredients
- canned biscuits – I like to use Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers biscuits because they give a nice, fluffy, flaky result. You can use any of your favorite canned biscuits.
- butter – you can use unsalted or salted butter for this. If you choose to use salted, just be aware of the amount of salt you add to it.
- garlic powder – dried garlic powder works best compared to fresh garlic for this recipe. Fresh garlic can burn quickly on the knots in the oven
- dried parsley and oregano – be sure your spices are still fresh and aren’t expired for the best flavor
- parmesan cheese – you can use the pre-grated kind or grate it yourself. Both work well in this.
How to Make Garlic Knots
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Melt the butter and set it aside to cool.
- While the butter is cooling, remove the biscuits from the container and cut each biscuit in half.
- Take each half and roll it into a long thin tube.
- Take the tube and tie it in a knot. Tie it as if you were tying a string.
- Place each knot on a parchment or silicone linked baking sheet.
- Add the garlic powder, salt, parsley, oregano, and parmesan cheese to the cooled butter. Mix to combine.
- Brush about ¾ of the butter and spice mixture on the knots.
- Bake in the oven for 8-12 minutes until they are cooked and golden. Be careful not to burn them.
- Remove them from the oven and brush the remaining butter and spice mixture over the top of the knots and enjoy!
