Equipment Required
- Mixing Bowl: I use a medium-sized mixing bowl to make the butter-garlic. You can use a small one, based on your needs.
- Basting Brush: This brush is my go-to tool for evenly spreading the garlic butter mixture over the dough.
- Baking Tray: A 13 by 9-inch tray is a standard choice for baking, and I prefer to use the same.
- Rolling Pin: Use a rolling pin to ensure the dough is rolled evenly and smoothly.
- Spoon: I prefer using a small spoon to mix the butter and garlic mixture.
- Oven: I recommend baking your knots in a preheated oven at 375’F.
Pizza Hut Garlic Knots Ingredients & Substitutions
Note: The quantities of the ingredients mentioned below are enough to make four servings of Pizza Hut Garlic Knots. You may adjust the quantities of the ingredients to serve more or fewer servings.
- 100 g Canned Biscuit Dough
- 2 Tablespoon of Olive Oil: I often use canola oil for a neutral taste and high smoke point. It works well in baking or frying recipes.
- ½ Cup Mozzarella Cheese: For a raw, robust taste, you can consider using provolone cheese, or for a mild taste, you can use Swiss cheese. Both these substitutes have a perfect melting point.
- 1 Tablespoon of Melted Butter: The finest alternative here is margarine, which gives you the same rich and creamy feel as butter.
- ½ Cups of Parmesan Cheese: For a similar substitute to parmesan cheese, I recommend using pecorino romano, a sheep milk cheese with a robust, nutty, and extra pungent flavor.
- 1 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder: I recommend adding fresh and finely chopped garlic cloves to achieve a sharper garlic flavor.
- 1 Teaspoon of Parsley: If you run out of parsley, you can try garnishing the knots with basil or cilantro.
- 1 Teaspoon of Italian Seasoning: For a similar flavor to Italian seasoning, consider using a combination of herbs like oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes.

Expert Tips That I Recommend
- For an extra-hot taste, I always add jalapeno powder to the butter-garlic mixture. This completely enhances the spice level.
- To give the garlic and butter mixture a Mediterranean flavor, I suggest adding a little curry powder or five-spice powder.
- Before baking the knots, sprinkle them with red pepper flakes, oregano, and garlic salts for a herby, spicy, flaky garlic flavor.
- Along with butter, I also suggest mixing in a little ghee for a rich taste.
- I usually grate in some feta cheese and parmesan cheese for an extra tangy and sharp flavor.
- I also suggest making homemade dough if you don’t prefer canned dough.
- You can even brush your dough with a layer of egg wash for an extra crispy exterior.
- Before placing the dough in the baking tray, sprinkle some sesame or pumpkin seeds for a crunchy layer.
- I even use a pizza stone instead of a baking tray for baking.
