So grab your biscuit dough, a whole lot of butter, and let’s get baking!
Why You’ll Love These Garlic Knot Biscuits
I’m not saying these will replace regular garlic knots, but I am saying they might just become your new go-to side dish. Here’s why:
✔ No yeast, no waiting, no stress. Traditional garlic knots require proofing, kneading, and waiting—but not these! Thanks to biscuit dough, you’ll have fresh, homemade garlic knots in minutes.
✔ Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The biscuit dough puffs up beautifully, creating a light, fluffy interior with a perfectly golden, slightly crispy exterior.
✔ That buttery garlic flavor? Next level. These biscuits get soaked in a buttery garlic mixture that seeps into every crevice, making them ultra-flavorful with every bite.
✔ They go with EVERYTHING. Pasta? Perfect. Soup? Even better. A quick snack straight from the pan? No judgment here.
How to Make Garlic Knot Biscuits
Ingredients You’ll Need
• Refrigerated biscuit dough (because we’re keeping it easy!)
• Butter (the more, the better)
• Garlic (freshly minced for max flavor)
• Parsley (for that pop of color and freshness)
• Parmesan cheese (because why not?)
• A little salt & Italian seasoning (because we love extra flavor)
That’s it. Six ingredients and you’re on your way to garlic bread heaven.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will keep your biscuits from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
Step 2: Shape Your Knots
Take each biscuit dough round and gently roll it into a rope. Then, tie it into a simple knot and place it on your baking sheet. If you’re feeling fancy, tuck the ends under to make them extra pretty.
Pro Tip: Don’t stress about making the knots perfect. They’re going to puff up in the oven and look amazing no matter what.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter
Melt a generous amount of butter in a small saucepan, then stir in:
✔ Fresh minced garlic
✔ Chopped parsley
✔ A pinch of salt
✔ A dash of Italian seasoning
Let it simmer for just a minute to let the garlic flavor bloom. The smell alone will make you want to dunk your biscuits in right now—but patience, my friend!
Step 4: Brush & Bake
Use a pastry brush (or a spoon) to generously coat each biscuit knot with the garlic butter mixture. Make sure every inch gets some love!
Bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and beautifully puffed.
Step 5: Finish & Serve
As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them with more garlic butter (because we’re not playing around). Then, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for the final touch.
Serve them warm and watch them disappear in minutes!
