Easy Garlic Parmesan Knots

Last week we were invited to a friend's house for dinner. They served some scrumptious homemade garlic rolls. I'm not usually a huge garlic lover, but these were like an explosion of heaven in my mouth!

So naturally, I was excited when I saw a recipe on Pinterest for Easy Garlic Parmesan Knots (here). I knew I had to try it soon! 

When we decided to have lasagne for dinner the other night they sounded perfect to go with it, so I got to work trying out the recipe.

The recipe I pinned used canned biscuits, which would make the process more simple, but I didn't have canned biscuits on hand (they are not my favorite), so I pulled out my trusty breadstick dough recipe and used that for the rolls instead. I followed the recipe for the butter garlic sauce just as it said (doubled since I was making a bigger batch), and it turned out delicious! 

The rolls were all gobbled up in no time... another successful Pin-complishment!!

Here's the recipe I used (Already doubled):

Breadstick Quick Rise Dough

2 1/2 cups warm water

3 Tbsp sugar

3 Tbsp yeast

3 tsp salt

5 cups flour

Garlic Butter Mixture - whisk together all ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

4 Tbsp grated parmesan

1 1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp parsley flakes

1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees

Mix all of the dough ingredients together, adding enough flour to make a stiff, but still slightly sticky dough

Shape into "knots" by dividing the dough into how many rolls you want*, then rolling each piece into a rope about 5 inches long. Tie each rope into a knot, making sure to tuck in the ends underneath

Place on a lightly greased baking sheet

Cover and let rise for a while (they don't need as long as normal dough, I think I left mine for about an hour total while I waited for the lasagne to be out of the oven, and that was probably more than enough)

Brush generously with the garlic butter sauce

Bake at 500 degrees for eight minutes, or until golden brown

Brush with remaining garlic butter

Eat, and enjoy! 

*this made about three dozen rolls when I did it, but they were on the small side, if you want bigger ones, just divide your dough into less pieces.
