Homemade Garlic Knots are a mouthwatering twist on traditional breadsticks. A garlic butter glaze added after baking melts into all the nooks and crannies, making every bite irresistible!
We love to serve these tasty rolls with Ravioli Tuscan Soup, Olive Garden Gnocchi Soup, and Creamy Sausage Tortellini Soup, but they make a great side dish to just about any meal.
I love garlic. I love rolls. So when I found the recipe for these garlic bread knots at Annie’s Eats, I knew I had to try them. I am so glad I did, they are phenomenal!
- The dough is soft and easy to work with.
- They come out chewy on the outside and soft on the inside.
- Simple garlic butter glaze on the top adds amazing flavor.
I’ve learned to make a double batch, because everyone in my family goes crazy for these. The first time I made them, my boys almost came to blows fighting over who should get the last one. OK, not really, but there was a heated discussion.
I solved it for them by eating the roll myself. It’s what any good mother would have done. Haha.
HOW TO MAKE GARLIC KNOTS:
- Combine sugar, yeast, salt, olive oil, milk, and water in the bowl of a Bosch mixer or Kitchenaid. Add 2 cups of flour and beat until smooth. Slowly add enough additional flour to make a soft dough. Knead on low speed for about 5 minutes, then let the dough rest for about 5 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an 8″ long rope.
- Tie each rope into a knot and place on a greased cookie sheet. Let rise for 30-45 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350° until lightly browned, about 18-20 minutes. Mix up the garlic butter glaze, and brush on rolls while they are still hot.
How do you store garlic parmesan knots?
You can store these rolls at room temperature for 2-3 days, then just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up. They are obviously best fresh though.
If you want to store them longer than a few days, wrap them tightly and store them in the freezer in an airtight container or ziplock bags.
Give these homemade garlic knots a try, you will not be sorry. They are simple to make, but absolutely delicious. I like them better than any garlic rolls I’ve had from pizzarias. You just can’t beat that fresh from the oven taste and texture!
Handy supplies for making garlic bread knots:
- Bosch Mixer – this machine does all the work of kneading for you. I love mine for making all yeast breads!
- Garlic Press – fresh garlic gives these rolls their fantastic flavor. Using a garlic press is so much easier than chopping your own garlic.
- Pastry Brush – I got tired of pastry brush hairs falling out onto my food, so now I use a silicone pastry brush. It’s also great because it holds up to heat and is dishwasher safe. I got mine at a kitchen supply store, but you can find them on amazon.
- Instant Yeast – you add the yeast directly to the dough without dissolving it first, so instant yeast is a must. I have always used SAF brand.

- While rolls are baking, combine all glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Brush rolls with the butter mixture while still hot.
Notes
Bread flour will produce chewier rolls with a crisper crust, but all purpose flour also works.

Can these be made using the dough cycle in my bread machine

I don’t have a bread machine so I’ve never tried it, but I would think that it would work just fine.

I’ve made many rolls, bread etc., quick ones long rising, no kneading, long kneading…you get the idea….these are the easiest and the best p! I’ve made these twice, kneaded with the kitchen aid, and also by hand and they both turned out fluffy, chewey and amazing! I am freezing some dough and going to see how they werok after freezing.

I came across a couple of your bread recipes that I would love to try. But none of them specify what kind of flour to use. Do you use all purpose flour or bread flour? I’m assuming you’re using all purpose.

Yes, unless otherwise specified, I use unbleached all purpose flour. I don’t have room in my pantry to store all the different types of flour. 🙂

I do need to get some type of “print recipe” button. I haven’t been able to find one yet that’s easy to install. I just need more hours in the day! 🙂

Just came across your site looking for alternative to crescent rolls for pigs in a blanket. I always make them for parties… The kids and adults always seem to like the old favorite. Just wanted to leave a comment cuz I got such a laugh out of you eating the roll herself… Good mom. I’m sticking with you and now know how I’ll be resolving conflicts going forward :0)
Going to try these garlic knots too! Yummmm
