Makes 4 dozen
Ingredients:
2 lbs. store-bought pizza dough, thawed at room temperature
All purpose flour, for rolling out dough
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
Salt
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Divide the dough in half, keeping half covered under a kitchen towel. Roll out the other half on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin, creating a 10-inch square. If the dough is very stiff, use your hands to stretch it.
Cut the 10-inch square in half with a sharp knife or pizza wheel to form two rectangles. Cut each rectangle into 12 strips (the cuts should be made so that the strips are shorter and thicker, rather than longer and thinner).
Tie each strip into a knot and then arrange the knots on the lined baking sheets. Cover them with a kitchen towel while you repeat the rolling, cutting and tying process with the second half of the dough.
Bake the knots for 5 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet and bake an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked.
While knots bake, grate the garlic cloves using a Microplane and combine with olive oil and butter in a small sauce pan over low heat. Cook just until butter has melted and mixture is warmed. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.
Immediately after baking, brush the baked knots with the garlic mixture and sprinkle with kosher salt. Serve warm.

Ham and Cheese Buns
Contributor: Ho Siew Loon I have always loved baking. One of my friends has asked me to bake something savoury for a change and Bee gave me an idea of coming out with buns wrapped in different types of filling and toppings. I decided to combine two sinfully good ingredients—ham and cheese. It was quite challenging to bake these ham and…
Pineapple Bun (Polo Bun/菠蘿包)
If you have been to Chinatown and have tried authentic Cantonese dim sum, you will probably know pineapple buns (boroh bun). Regardless of its name, there is no pineapple in the bun—it’s a soft bun with a sweet and crusty topping, which is extremely tasty when it’s freshly baked. I love pineapple buns and that’s why I asked my contributor…
Sausage Rolls
I have wanted to make sausage rolls for the longest time. I spotted the sausage rolls recipe on both Food-4Tots and also Christine’s Recipes and added it to my to-bake list…finally, I found the time to bake these goodies. This sausage roll is probably more Asian than western baking. If I am not mistaken, it’s probably a Cantonese creation. If…

With some leftover red bean paste in the refrigerator, I have decided to clear it up by making some of these beautiful red bean buns (or rolls). I am really happy…

Garlic knots are my single happiness-inducing snack that never fails!! love them..
i don;t know why but your knots (shape) remind me of people holding hands :))
LOL, I might have tied the knot wrongly that they look like holding hands. Hehe.
Never seen garlic knots before. We would love these.

That’s awesome, let me know how your garlic knots turn out.
I’m so glad you enjoyed my recipe for Garlic Knots. They look fantastic, and I can absolutely relate to the addiction factor. I couldn’t bake them up fast enough!
You are so talented. These garlic knots looks so yummy!
I absoluetly love these garlic knots and make them all the time as well. One of the first recipes to go on my blog actually!
Just made these today and I have to say I am very very sad. I finish baking and left these out to cool while I ran out for an errand. I came back in half an hour and every last one was… gone. One of the guilty party was still chewing the last piece. I could smell the evidence on her breath. She smiled at me and laugh. Ah, my gluttonous little piggy.
Haha, that’s too funny. You will have to make them again. I baked the sweet ones today and love it, too. Just brush with melted butter and icing sugar. :)
Lovely garlic knots….mmmm, nice!
Want to try this so bad but can’t find any pizza dough at the shops!
Can ready-made pizza base work as well ? That’s the only closest thing I can find…
I think so, let me know how your garlic knots turn out.
