A Homemade Garlic Knots Recipe That Tastes Like the Restaurant!

Getting a big basket of garlic knots are always one of the best things about going out to eat at an Italian Restaurant. These knots are fantastic dipped in extra red sauce, served alongside spaghetti, an appetizer for pizza, or just eaten by themselves.

What’s In These Garlic Knots with Olive Oil

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Instant Yeast: I recently tried out instant yeast on a whim (normally I buy active dry) and I absolutely love it!  Instant yeast is great for both overnight breads and this easy quick garlic knots recipe too!
• All purpose flour: I like to use this flour which is amazing for baking anything: breads, cakes, muffins, etc.  It’s my absolute go-to flour, and what I use to feed my sourdough starter.
• Fine Sea Salt:  I like a fine ground sea salt for baking.  Normally I like Himalayan salt, but I find that a fine grain salt distributes more evenly in breads and cakes.

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
• Parsley to top

How Do I Make Garlic Knots Without Eggs?

• Add all ingredients (except garlic + parsley) to a large bowl. Mix well to combine the dough. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, adding more flour if the dough is too sticky. Place the kneaded dough back into the bowl. Pour 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over the dough, and flip the dough to make sure it’s coated in the olive oil. Cover and let rest for 1 hour.

• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Divide the dough in half, and each of the halves into 8 pieces. This recipe makes 16 knots. Take the dough for one knot, and roll it into a 9 or 10 inch strip with your palms. Take the two ends of the dough: make a loop with one end, and feed the other end through the loop to make a knot. Like you’re completing the first step of tying your shoes. Place the knot on the baking sheet, and repeat until all the knots are tied.

• Place the baking sheet in the oven, and bake for 18-24 minutes until the garlic knots are golden brown on top.  Remove from oven.

• Brush each garlic knot with olive oil, raw garlic, and parsley. Enjoy!
