Notes
Variations
- Feel like switching up the flavor? These are also incredibly good with one of our other compound butter recipes like garlic chive butter or tomato butter. Caesar butter would also be delicious!
- Instead of using garlic powder and salt, use a garlic seasoned salt or something like basil salt. Just remember, a little goes a long way.
- For a cheesy version, top the knots with shredded mozzarella cheese before baking.
- To make the dough easier to work with, take it out of the fridge 30-60 minutes before handling.
- If you have time, allow the knots to rest for 10 minutes before baking, enhancing the dough's flavor and making the knots a little less dense.
