Whole Foods Buttery Garlic Knots Recipe

There is nothing I like more than some butter and garlic saturated bread. It is 90% of the reason that I frequent Italian Restaurants. It is amazing. I especially like the locations that drench their rolls in bowl of buttery. Yes, I can hear my arteries clogging as I write this.
When I saw these on Pinterest, actually when I saw my friend Amy making these, I went to Pinterest to take a look. I had tasted Amy’s too and knew they were good but thought what would really make this recipe was some homemade pizza dough and a butter substitution. So I went to work dreaming away. I found the prefect dinner for these rolls and set to work.
The final result? Absolutely. Heavenly. Heavenly I say. In fact, my husband took one bite and nearly fell off his chair. Literally. He looked at me mid-chew, gave me the most incredible look and asked me what I had possibly put into them to make them so incredible. And then he tweeted about them. My friends, that is love.
So if you have a love affair with butter and garlic. Or your husband does. I suggest that you commit these to your next meal plan. I promise that you will not be disappointed.

They sure sound delicious. May have to give them a try this week!
These look delicious! Can’t wait to make them. How much butter is needed?
Sorry, I forgot the word “cups” it is there now. :)
Thanks! gonna try it this week!
I will be making another huge batch of your pizza dough recipe soon, and I will definitely put some aside to make these rolls, they look delicious!
Wow, think I’ll give these a go tomorrow! They look amazing! Thanks!
You will not be disappointed.
Okay. Yeah. Awesome. The butter mixture is definitely the secret!
These are so good!
Make sure you make them when others are around to share ;)
Thanks for all the great recipes!
I just got around to making these tonight. Yum! And fwiw, if you, ahem, get distracted and accidentally forget the parmesan? They’re still super yummy. :D
Ha ha ha, good to know! :)
Just wondering if anyone has tried forming the knots after refrigerating the pizza dough for four hours and then freezing them? They sound delicious btw!
Shauna, I have (Tricia). I keep a batch in the freezer at all times. I flash freeze them in the knot shape and then move them to a gallon bag when they are frozen. When I want to make rolls, I take them out of the bag earlier in the day and let them thaw at room temperature and then proceed from there!
We had something very similar to this at a restaurant in Hill City, South Dakota. The same topping, but brushed on top of biscuits. This reminded me of how yummy that way, so I am going to try it tonight.
Let us know how our recipe compares.
These are AMAZING! My husband and brother can’t get enough. This is a new family favorite for sure!
