Garlic Parmesan Knots: Golden, Buttery, Irresistible
Imagine tearing into a warm, twisty knot that’s drenched in garlic butter and blanketed in fluffy Parmesan snow. These Garlic Parmesan Knots are the ultimate sidekick for pasta night, pizza parties, or game-day spreads—one bite and the entire tray vanishes.
The secret to that perfect cheesy crown? The Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater. With its fine shred blade and rock-steady suction base, it turns a hard block of Parmesan into airy, melt-on-contact shreds in seconds—way fluffier than store-bought and zero scraped knuckles.
🥐Ingredients (makes 12 knots)
1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
½ cup finely shredded Parmesan
1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
½ tsp sea salt
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
🌀Step-by-Step: Knots in 5 Easy Moves
1️⃣Shape the Knots
Divide dough into 12 pieces. Roll each into an 8-inch rope, tie into a loose knot, and tuck ends underneath. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2️⃣First Garlic Butter Bath
Mix melted butter with minced garlic, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Brush generously over every knot.
3️⃣Bake Until Puffy & Golden
Bake at 400°F (200°C) until puffed and lightly golden.
4️⃣Prep the Fluffiest Parmesan
While the knots bake, lock your hand crank cheese grater onto the counter with its suction base → insert the fine shred blade → crank a block of Parmesan into a cloud of delicate shreds. One smooth turn = perfect cheesy snow ready to cling.
5️⃣Final Glossy Finish
Stir garlic powder into remaining garlic butter. Brush hot knots again, then immediately shower with the shredded Parmesan while steaming so it slightly melts and sticks. Finish with parsley and a final pinch of sea salt.
