making garlic knots
PREP. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or line with a silpat. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
SEASONING. Melt the butter in a small bowl. Add the Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, parsley and salt. Mix together and set aside.
BISCUITS. Open the can of biscuits. Cut each of the 8 pieces of dough in half so that you have 16 pieces of dough. Roll each piece into a rope about 6 inches long and ½ inch thick.
BAKE. Tie each rope into a knot. Place them on the baking sheet making sure to tuck the end of the rope under the knot. Brush the tops of the dough knot with half of the butter mixture. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove knots from the oven and brush with the remaining butter mix. Serve warm.
Recipe Tips
Using Pizza dough: You can use a canned package of pizza dough or even homemade pizza dough. Simply let the dough rise for 30 minutes. Shape it into the knot and let rise another 5-10 minutes before brushing with garlic mixture and baking for about 13 minutes.
Garlic: add or subtract the amount of garlic to your desired state.
Spice it up: If you want to give the knots a little kick, then simply sprinkle a few red chili flakes on top
Dippable: These are delicious all on their own, but they also pair well with your favorite dips. Some of mine include:
Storing Info
These are best served fresh and warm, but they can be STORED for later. Place in an airtight container and store for 2-3 days
To FREEZE, flash freeze first, or separate layers with parchment paper. Freeze for 2-3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
I don’t recommend freezing canned dough, but if you use homemade pizza dough, then you can freeze it in dough form.

I can’t believe how easy these were to make!! I will not be using the frozen ones anymore!! These were so soft & tasted so good!
I love how these are so easy to throw together and are so delicious too! Everyone goes nuts for them.
Delicious bundles of dough that come together fairly quick. A nice side for your meal.
My kids are HUGE fans of these knots! The butter just melts so perfectly and the garlic and parmesan are the perfect pairing to elevate this simple recipe! So good!
We have spaghetti once a week and I wanted to mix things up and make something different than using the frozen cheese bread so I decided to try this recipe and I’m so glad I did!! They were a hit. Thank you!
Ive made these a few times now. They are so easy and my kids love them. When Ive had leftovers I just wrapped them in plastic and then foil and put them in the freezer. I reheated them in the oven, wrapped in foil (removed plastic). Turned out just as good as when they were first baked.
My family ate these up like candy! They couldn’t get enough of them. And they were so easy to make. I plan to make this a new family favorite for many dinners to come.
