Top Tips

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.

  • Ketogenic Diet: To make this recipe suitable for people following a ketogenic diet, I recommend altering canned biscuit dough to freshly prepared almond flour or coconut flour dough.

Finally, you can avoid butter and only use olive oil to brush the garlic knots.
