Garlic knots don't have to be difficult to be delicious! These 30 Minute Garlic Knots are super easy and are made from scratch in just half an hour.
After I started making garlic knots, my son started requesting them all the time.
They're delicious, and we love them, but they take about an hour to make.
All-in-all, not so bad for a yeast recipe. Since dinner time is always chaotic at our house, quick, easy recipes are my friend.
So, I came up with a faster recipe to make garlic knots.
These 30 Minute Garlic Knots are ready - start to finish - in just half an hour. And they taste so good that you'd never guess how easy they are!
If you want to make it a meal, check out my easy homemade pizza dough recipe.
This is a great starter recipe if you've never made anything with yeast before. It's pretty hard to hurt this dough (just don't kill the yeast!).
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at just how easy this recipe really is.

30 Minute Garlic Knots
Ingredients
Garlic Knots
- ¼ c . butter
- 1 c . milk
- 2 T. instant yeast
- 1 T. honey
- ½ teaspoon . salt
- 1 large egg
- 3-3 ½ c . all-purpose flour
Garlic Butter
- 2 T. butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon . Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon . garlic powder
- 3-4 T. grated Parmesan or Romano cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 Line a 9x13-inch rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking liner. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter.
- When butter is mostly melted, stir in milk, and heat mixture to 100-110 F.
- Meanwhile, add yeast and honey to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl if mixing by hand).
- When milk mixture is at temperature, add to yeast and honey; stir to combine.
- Add salt and egg, and stir until combined.
- Stir in 2 ½ cups of flour.
- Add remaining flour until dough clings to paddle and cleans the sides of the bowl.
- Switch to the dough hook, and knead for 2 minutes (or by hand for about 5 minutes).
- With lightly floured hands, shape dough into 12 knots, and place dough on prepared baking sheet.
- Cover, and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Bake for about 9-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- While the knots are baking, prepare the garlic butter.
- In a small bowl, stir together ingredients for garlic butter.
- After removing the rolls from the oven, brush with garlic butter, sprinkle with cheese if using, and enjoy!
- If you would prefer to use active dry yeast, substitute an equal amount for the instant yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy. Then, continue with the recipe as written.

I made these, put the garlic butter on before baking, then again half way through an sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. They were good but a little dark on the outside.

Hey! If the knots turned out darker than you'd like, next time I'd suggest trying the butter after baking. Brushing the rolls before (and during) baking with butter will increase the color.

I had a houseful of family and not a lot of time to come up with a meal. These garlic knots impressed everyone. They've requested them with the next get-together.

Kate
I use salted butter.

These tasted amazing!!! I made them with spaghetti. Personally, they needed some salt but it could've been bc I used unsalted butter. The only thing I changed is that I just used 1 packet instead of 2.

I'm glad that you liked them!

These are so good! We run a small guest house at the base of the Himalayas and they are frequently requested with our spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. Our children love them as well.
