Why go and spend your money on garlic knots when you can make them at home? A big basket of garlic knots is a great party treat and is pretty easy to make if you use pre-made pizza dough.

These are the perfect rolls for your Thanksgiving (or Easter, pizza night or family dinner) table! They are chewy and soft and have lots and lots of garlicky, buttery flavor!

You can’t eat just one. At least I can’t.

You will see that just one batch could turn into a meal for one. If thinking ahead, you may just want to double up on this recipe. Just make sure that you make enough for everyone because they’re going to go quickly as everyone reaches for 2 or more each.

You will be shocked at how easy these are to make. PLUS, you will wow your guests. I do have to mention that these are the best right out of the oven.

What’s In Garlic Knots?

• 1 store-buttermilk biscuit dough – Our family prefers using Pillsbury or Aldi’s brand
• 1 tbsp chopped garlic
• 2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
• ¾ stick melted butter
• 2 tbsp chopped basil or 1 tbsp dried Italian seasoning
• sauce for dipping (your favorite)

It is as easy as 1-2-3

Please note that there is a printable version of this recipe listed below.

Making garlic knots really shouldn’t be anything that intimidates you. Semi-homemade is anything but. All you need for these doughy, delicious garlic knots is THREE ingredients, plus some spices. That’s it! Grab a can of buttermilk biscuit dough and stretch each biscuit into ropes (fun for kids).

STEP ONE: Tie each rope into a little knot. It is easy, first, create a ‘U’ shape and then cross the top.

The piece of dough that is on top will then fold back and under, coming through the center hole, and tying a knot. Then take the ends and tuck them into the center.

If your kids are helping you, any shape will do as long as they form the dough into a twist of some sort. It is important to allow your mixture to stick into the folds.

STEP TWO: Then you are ready to mix up your basting sauce. Mix melted butter, Parmesan, minced garlic, and fresh basil, or substitute with dried Italian seasoning in a bowl, and slather that buttery goodness over top.

STEP THREE: Bake ‘til golden. I like to save some of the melted butter (without anything else to baste on the knots after they are done cooking, as well as sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top.

Bake them for about 10-15 minutes at 375 degrees. 

Perfect Game Day Appetizer

Additional Cooking Tips

• You can replace the fresh herbs with 1/2 teaspoon each of dried basil leaves. 
• Grated Parmesan cheese can also be sprinkled on the rolls before baking.
• If you have leftovers, these rolls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can also feel free to freeze them for up to 3 months. After freezing, when you are ready to eat them, reheat them by placing them in a 425° oven for about 6 minutes.
