Hey everyone! I've been obsessed with Domino's Garlic Knots for ages, but let's be real, going out or ordering them every time a craving hits isn't always practical (or budget-friendly!). So, I took on the challenge to recreate them in my own kitchen, and I'm so excited to share my go-to recipe with you. Trust me, these homemade garlic knots are surprisingly easy to make and taste just like the real deal – maybe even better because they're fresh out of your oven! Here’s how you can whip up your own batch of delicious, buttery, and garlicky knots: What You'll Need (Ingredients): 1 tube (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough (I find this is the easiest route, but you can also use homemade dough) 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 4-5 cloves garlic, minced (use more if you're a garlic fiend like me!) 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional, but adds a nice fresh touch) 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional) 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a little kick, optional) Pinch of salt Pinch of black pepper Parmesan cheese for sprinkling (optional, but highly recommended!) Let's Get Cooking (Instructions): Prep the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Unroll the dough: Carefully unroll the pizza dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Stretch it gently into a rectangle, about 12x8 inches. Cut the strips: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips. You should get about 12-16 strips. Tie the knots: Take each strip and tie it into a loose knot. Don't worry if they're not perfect; they'll still be delicious! Place the knots on your prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. Bake 'em up: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the knots are golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning. Make the garlic butter: While the knots are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer gently for a minute or two on low heat to really infuse that garlic flavor. Garlic butter bath! As soon as the knots come out of the oven, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm garlic butter mixture over them. Toss gently to coat every single knot evenly. The warm knots will soak up all that delicious butter! Serve and enjoy: Sprinkle with a generous amount of Parmesan cheese if you like, and serve immediately. They're best warm! My Top Tips for Perfect Knots: Dough matters: If using homemade dough, make sure it's at room temperature for easier handling. Don't overbake: You want them soft and fluffy, not hard. Golden brown is your goal. Plenty of garlic: Don't be shy with the garlic! That's where the magic happens. Fresh herbs: Fresh parsley makes a huge difference in flavor compared to dried. Dipping sauces: These are amazing on their own, but also heavenly with marinara sauce, ranch, or even a simple olive oil dip. These copycat Domino's Garlic Knots are a game-changer for pizza night, movie marathon snacks, or just a spontaneous craving. Give them a try, and let me know how yours turn out!
