Garlic knots are a beloved side dish often found in pizzerias. But let’s be honest, not all garlic knots are created equal. Some are dry and flavorless, while others are greasy and lacking in garlic flavor. But fear not, because I have a recipe for easy pull-apart garlic knots that will blow your mind and taste buds.
These garlic knots are garlicky, cheesy, and slathered in butter. They are the perfect combination of flavors and textures, making them a must-try for any garlic lover. And the best part? They take just minutes to assemble, making them a quick and easy addition to any meal.
To make these delicious garlic knots, you will need the following ingredients:
– 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
– 4 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup melted butter
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried parsley
– Salt, to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into strips, about 1 inch wide.
In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and dried parsley. Brush the melted butter onto each strip of dough, then sprinkle the garlic and cheese mixture on top. Add a pinch of salt to each strip, if desired.
Next, tie each strip into a knot, tucking the ends underneath. Place the knots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the knots are golden brown and cooked through.
Once they are done baking, remove the knots from the oven and brush them with any remaining melted butter. Serve them warm and enjoy the delicious aroma of garlic and cheese.
These easy pull-apart garlic knots are perfect as a side dish for pasta, pizza, or any Italian-inspired meal. They are also great as a snack or appetizer, and are sure to be a hit at any party or gathering.
What sets these garlic knots apart from others is the combination of flavors and the use of real garlic instead of garlic powder. The minced garlic adds a strong and authentic garlic taste, while the Parmesan cheese adds a salty and savory element. The butter and herbs bring it all together, creating a mouthwatering experience with every bite.
Not only are these garlic knots delicious, but they are also incredibly easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, you can have these knots on the table in no time. And trust me, they are miles better than most pizzeria versions.
So next time you’re craving some garlicky goodness, skip the pizzeria and make these easy pull-apart garlic knots at home. Your taste buds will thank you.
