Homemade Garlic Knots

Cultural Context

Garlic knots are a beloved Italian-American creation, often served in pizzerias across the United States. They are made from leftover pizza dough, twisted into knots, and baked with garlic and butter. This dish has become a staple appetizer or side dish, celebrated for its buttery, garlicky flavor and soft, chewy texture. Today, garlic knots are enjoyed in various forms, with some variations incorporating herbs and different cheeses.

Shape each piece into a ball, using your hands if necessary.

Stretch each ball into a knot shape.
