Easy Parmesan Garlic Knots (plus an Air Fryer Version) · I’m a Food Blog

Warm garlic cloves fresh from the oven should be a controlled substance.

I can devour an entire tray, even when I eat them alongside something like this delicious pasta bolognese. I made the dough from scratch here, but you could easily use store-bought pizza dough for somewhat instant results.

Why garlic knots?

Garlic knots are the best part of pizza night! I love them soft and tender on the inside, crispy on the edges of the knuckles dripping with garlic butter. Pure carb perfection. I like them with sauce, without sauce, I even eat them cold. I’m a garlic knot monster!

How to make garlic knots

First, I mean, you don’t have to make the dough from scratch. You can buy pizza dough and make these and still experience the immense joy that homemade garlic knots will give you.

1. Make the dough. Or buy it. no one judges. If you do, put all the ingredients in a mixer until everything comes together in a ball. Once the dough is a ball, cover it and let the dough rest until doubled in size.
2. Form the knots. When your dough is nice and puffy, you punch it and shape the knots. Push the dough into a log and cut into 8 strips. Twist the strips a bit and then tie the dough into a knot. Cover the knots with a plastic blanket and let them nap until fluffy.
3. Bake the joints. Brush the joints with garlic butter, then bake until golden and delicious.
4. Give the joints a butter bath. Double dip the knuckles for even more garlic flavor. Wash them with parmesan and parsley.
5. Enjoy!
