What it is
These are soft, doughy knots of bread that have been infused with garlic and herbs. They are typically baked until golden brown and have a slightly chewy texture. The garlic flavor is prominent, making them a savory addition to any meal. They are a convenient way to enjoy freshly baked bread without the effort of making it from scratch.
How people cook with it
Garlic knots are versatile and can be served alongside a variety of dishes. They are a popular choice for Italian-inspired meals.
- Serve with pasta dishes
- Complement soups and stews

- Pair with salads
To enjoy these garlic knots, you can warm them up in an oven or toaster oven for a few minutes until they are heated through and slightly crisp on the outside. This process enhances their aroma and texture. They can be served as is, or you can brush them with a little extra melted butter or olive oil mixed with fresh parsley and more garlic for an intensified flavor. They are best served warm.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a standard dinner roll, garlic knots offer a distinct garlic and herb flavor profile. Their knotted shape also provides a different surface area for the toppings, leading to a slightly varied texture when bitten into. They are often richer due to the butter or oil used in preparation.
