Garlic Knots

Garlic knots are a classic Italian-American dish that originated in pizzerias as a way to use up extra pizza dough. They are typically served as a complimentary appetizer or side dish, but they are so delicious that many people order them as a main dish. 

One of the best things about garlic knots is that they are so easy to make at home. All you need is a few basic ingredients and a little bit of time. The dough is made from a combination of all-purpose flour, yeast, water, salt, and sugar. The yeast helps to make the dough rise and gives it a light, airy texture, while the salt and sugar add flavour and help to activate the yeast. 

To make the garlic knots, you simply divide the dough into equal parts and roll each piece into a rope. Then, tie the rope into a knot and brush it with a mixture of melted butter and minced garlic. Finally, sprinkle the knots with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley and bake in the oven until they are golden brown. 

Garlic knots are a versatile dish that can be served in a variety of ways. They are perfect as a side dish for pasta or pizza, or as an appetizer to share with friends and family. You can also serve them with your favourite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or garlic butter.
