Whether it’s a special occasion or a cozy family meal, these budget-friendly garlic bread knots are guaranteed to delight your loved ones. Get ready to tantalize their taste buds with this quick and easy recipe. But before we dive into the preparation, let’s explore the journey of flavors that awaits you. I am going to break down the ingredients, walk you through the simple preparation steps, guide you in baking these knots to perfection, and finally, show you the best way to serve and enjoy them. So get your apron on, because we’re about to embark on a garlic-infused adventure that will have your guests begging for seconds!

Ingredients

Before we dive into the preparation, let’s break down the key ingredients that will make your garlic bread knots burst with flavor. These simple pantry staples are the building blocks of our delicious knots:

  1. Bread Dough: I use the Pillsbury southern canned biscuit dough! It is super easy and no one would ever guess that is what you used to make these wonderful garlic knots!
  2. Garlic: As the star of our dish, fresh garlic cloves are a must. Their pungent aroma and sharp taste will infuse every bite with irresistible garlicky goodness.
  3. Butter: We are absolutely going to need butter to create a luscious garlic butter spread that will coat our knots, making them moist and wonderfully rich.
  4. Olive Oil: Alongside butter, a drizzle of olive oil adds a subtle fruity flavor and helps to achieve that perfect golden-brown crust on our knots.
  5. Parmesan Cheese: Grated Parmesan cheese brings a nutty and salty kick to our garlic bread knots. It adds depth of flavor and a delightful crispy texture.
  6. Italian Seasoning: A blend of dried herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme will enhance the taste profile of our knots, giving them a hint of Mediterranean flair.
  7. Salt and Pepper: Don’t forget to season your garlic butter spread with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to balance the flavors.

Now that we know the essential ingredients, let’s move on to the next section and explore the simple preparation steps that will transform these humble ingredients into mouthwatering garlic bread knots.

Preparation

First, preheat your oven to the specified temperature indicated in the recipe. This will ensure that your knots bake evenly and develop that irresistible golden crust.

Next, prepare your garlic butter spread by combining softened butter, minced garlic, and finely chopped parsley in a small bowl. Mix everything together until well combined. For an extra burst of flavor, you can also add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to balance the flavors.

Once your garlic butter spread is ready, it’s time to prepare the dough. You are going to open the can of biscuits and cut each of the biscuits in half and stretch them out a few inches, basically enough to be able to tie it into a small knot with little nothing left after tying it. If there is a little dough left just tuck in into the knot.

Now that you have your garlic butter spread and dough knots ready, it’s time to bring them together. Take each knot and dip it into the garlic butter, ensuring that it is fully coated. You can use a brush or your fingers to help evenly distribute the garlic butter on all sides.

Once all the knots are coated, arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat. Make sure to leave some space between each knot to allow them to expand while baking.

With the preparation complete, it’s time to move on to the next section and discover the baking instructions that will transform these prepped garlic bread knots into a warm, aromatic delight straight from the oven.,

Baking Instructions

To turn your prepped garlic bread knots into a warm, aromatic delight straight from the oven, it’s essential to follow the baking instructions.

First, preheat your oven to 400°F (190°C) to ensure a perfectly golden and crisp exterior. While the oven is heating up, take a moment to double-check that your knots are evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. This way, they’ll have the room they need to expand and bake evenly without sticking together.

Once the oven is preheated and your garlic bread knots are ready, carefully slide the baking sheet into the center of the oven. Set the timer for 10 minutes, as this initial bake time will allow the knots to rise and begin developing that irresistible golden brown color.

After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven, being cautious of the hot tray. Using a pair of tongs or a spatula, carefully turn each knot over to ensure even cooking on both sides. The underside should be nicely browned and slightly crispy at this point, while the tops may still be a bit pale.

Slide the baking sheet back into the oven and continue baking for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the knots are beautifully golden brown on all sides. Keep a close eye on them during this final stretch to prevent any burning or over-browning.

Once the baking time is complete, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and set it on a heat-resistant surface to cool slightly. The knots will be fragrant and irresistible, with a warm garlic aroma permeating the air.

Now that your garlic bread knots are perfectly baked, it’s time to move on to the next section and discover how to serve and enjoy these delectable creations!

As you present this beautiful creation, your loved ones will be drawn in by the irresistible flavors and eye-catching presentation.
