Garlic Knots are classic Italian snack. In this recipe they are made in a mini, bite size, great for every party as well as an everyday snack. The dough is made without yeast, so it is ready in minutes: no kneading, no proofing, no waiting. Just mix all ingredients, shape and bake. You don’t even need to chill the dough for 30 minutes if you are in a hurry, even though chilling does make the dough easier to roll. Whole process is so easy and quick, and final result so addictive!
Seriously, I couldn’t wait to finish shooting pictures and start eating. If you like, you can sprinkle the knots with some Parmesan cheese before baking. To me, they are perfect just the way they are. I think I’m developing a new garlic addiction. Soooo goood!

Place knots on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush tops with beaten egg. Bake for 15-20 minutes in 300F oven.
these knots look excellently good I think they would go good with spaghetti and a salad. !
They go good with everything. 🙂
I have a feeling I know the answer, but does the 1/2 cup cold butter called for in the ingredients list go into making the dough or is it the butter you need to mix and spread with the minced garlic and chopped parsley?
Thanks!
The butter goes into the dough.
Do you know the calorie count on these?
I’m sorry, I don’t know.
hi…these look great…i have a silly question for u …are the eggs only for brushing the knots? or do they go into the dough as well? since you’ve mentioned to process all ingredients together?
2 eggs go into the dough. You need and extra egg for brushing.
These did not turn out like i expected them too at all. Next time i’ll stick to yeast! Thank you though!
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that 🙁
