Soft, buttery knots stuffed with gooey melted cheese and coated in a savory garlic butter. These Cheese-Filled Garlic Knots are perfect as appetizers, side dishes, or irresistible snacks!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For the Garlic Butter:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Prepare the Dough: Divide the pizza dough into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a small rectangle.
  • Fill and Shape the Knots: Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough piece. Fold the dough over the cheese and pinch the edges tightly to seal, ensuring no cheese escapes. Gently shape the dough into knots.
  • Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the prepared knots on the lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  • Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt. Brush the garlic butter generously over each knot.
  • Bake the Knots: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the knots are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
  • Finish and Serve: Remove the knots from the oven and brush with additional garlic butter for extra flavor. Let the knots rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Customization: Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties, such as cheddar or parmesan, for a different flavor.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
