Yummy garlic bread tastes good as a side to pizza, salads, soups, pastas, and pretty much anything! Garlic knots are a fun twist to traditional breadsticks and they don’t take any longer to make! Try them dipped in a yummy marinara sauce, or just plain, brushed with our garlic topping recipe below.

Tips for this recipe:
For the dough, we use the same ingredients as our pizza dough recipe.
Make sure you give the dough enough time to properly rise.
Consider serving with one of these popular pizza:
  • White Garlic Chicken and Veggie Pizza
  • Loaded Jalepeno Popper Pizza
  • Chicken Alfredo Pizza
  • Pesto Veggie Pizza
  • Garlic Ranch Chicken Pizza
  • Barbeque Chicken Pizza

Keyword: garlic knots
Unit: cup, Tablespoon, teaspoon
Servings: 20 garlic knots
Calories: 33 kcal
Author: Lauren Allen
Ingredients
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 Tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 - 2 1/2 cups bread flour bread flour works best, but all- purpose flour will work as well.
Garlic Topping
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons butter , melted
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • freshly grated parmesan cheese , sprinkled
Instructions
  1. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let rest/proof for about 10 min. 

  2. Add the sugar.

    Combine the flour, garlic powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Add the olive oil and yeast mixture to the flour mixture.

  3. Beat well until a soft dough ball has formed. Knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. 

  4. Place dough in a large greased bowl. Cover with a cloth and place in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

  5. Take a small pinch of the dough and roll into a rope about 5 inches long and ½ inch thick. Tie the rope into a knot and place on greased baking sheet. Repeat until you have used up all the dough, and your baking sheet is full of dough knots.

  6. Let the dough rest in a warm place until nearly doubled in volume (about 30 minutes)

  7. Preheat oven to 400° F. Bake for approx. 12-15 min. or until golden.

  8. While knots are baking, make garlic topping by combining all ingredients in a small bowl.

  9. After removing knots from oven, while still warm, either brush with garlic coating, or place knots in a large bowl and toss with garlic coating.

    Oh my goodness these look delicious! We’ve had something similar at a pizza place in town, and I could just chow down on way too many garlic knots and a salad! I will definitely have to try these out!

    Cheers!

    I have made these garlic knots 6 times. Always turn out amazing! I keep two dozen in the freezer. Great for pasta or soup and salad nights. Way better then anything from the frozen section in your grocery store! Thanks for the great recipe!

        Would you recommend freezing these before or after baking?

          Hi Leona, you could do either. I usually bake them, allow them to cool, and then freeze a few so theyre ready to go when I want them! Just take them out of the freezer and let them come to room temperature. 🙂

    I’ve never baked with yeast before but these garlic knots make me want to start. I’ll have to tinker with the topping a little to make it dairy free, but this is going on my to-make list 🙂

    I have made these several times and never noticed the garlic powder in the bread flour mixture. So, today I am adding the powder. They have always been great.

    Thanks for the amazing recipe! Worked perfectly and everyone loved these knots, they’re so good!
    I used vegan buttery spread and omitted the parmesan cheese from the topping to make them vegan and they came out great!

    Just tried these today and they are very tasty. Being a serious garlic lover, I doubled the garlic powder in the dough. They came out great!!

    Hi there,
    Just came across this amazing recipe, however, I am enquiring what these rolls would be like if they were made with fresh garlic rather
    than the garlic powder ? Please tell me if this is at all possible and if so, what changes would need to be made to the recipe?

    Thank you
    Gisele

      Hi Gisele, you could add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the dough, in place of the garlic powder. 🙂 Make it the same.

    Thanks for this wonderful recipe, I’ve made it a few times now and always use unsweetened vanilla almond milk (no noticeable difference) ! I definitely freeze the leftovers.
