This super easy Garlic Parmesan Knot recipe features a canned biscuit dough and easy-to-follow instructions. It’s delicious and simple!
Bread is one of those things that can really take a meal to the next level, but is often nothing more than an afterthought. It certainly happens at our house, and we end up throwing some frozen garlic bread on a sheet pan. But what if I told you I could show you how to create drool-worthy flaky, buttery, Garlic Parmesan Knots with very little time and effort? What if I told you you could make these garlic knots without a packet of yeast, a single scoop of flour, or a dough hook? What if I told you these quick and easy homemade garlic knots are made with canned biscuit dough? Would you believe me?
Well, I can tell you this… If you were to taste them first, you’d have absolutely no idea just how easy these delicious little side dishes are!
They’re fancy-looking enough for your next dinner party, but easy enough to turn out on a busy weeknight. And the flavor?? Y’all, they’re seriously amazing! You just have to try them!
How to Tie a Bread Knot
Tying a bread knot doesn’t have to be overly complicated. Simply follow these easy steps, and you will have yourself a lovely-tied bread knot to serve up to your family or guests.
Let’s start with our can of biscuit dough. I like to use the Grands Original Flaky Layers Biscuits, but other similar-sized cans of dough will work. Separate the biscuits, take each one, and roll it into a snake-like strip. You’ll want these to be 10 to 12 inches long so they’re long enough to tie.
Next, just tie the dough into a knot. This can take a little finesse, but a few tries and you’re sure to be a pro. If it tears, simply smoosh it all together again and roll it back out. Easy peasy.
Next, take the two loose ends and pinch them together. Then tuck them under the roll.
That’s it. See how easy that was? I’m telling you, folks are going to be seriously impressed with these. Then all you have to do is take your combined ingredients – melted butter, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, some all-purpose Italian seasoning, and a little salt – and spoon the butter mixture over the knot or brush it on the knots. Finally, you bake them to golden perfection.
Just look at these babies…They’re so quick and easy but look and taste like so much more. The folks at your table will have no idea they aren’t homemade and certainly won’t ever guess they started with canned biscuit dough.
You could even whip up a side of my marinara sauce, and these are great for dipping.

Recipe Card
Easy Garlic Parmesan Knots
Ingredients
- 1 (16.3-ounce) can refrigerated flaky biscuits (I used the Pillsbury Grands Original Flaky Layers – 8 in a tube)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder ((or 1 clove garlic, minced))
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Pop open your biscuits and separate them. Stretch and roll each biscuit in your hands until you have a snake of dough about 10 to 12 inches long.
- Tie each piece in a knot and then pinch the two tails together at the bottom. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic powder, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix well. Spoon the mixture evenly over each of the knots. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

I’ve made these since being a teenager! A few things I do is to roll the rope in melted butter then roll in the Parmesan mixed with the garlic powder. That way the garlic butter is tasted throughout the roll.
Yum! Great idea!

Can you make these the day before and bake them the next day?
I’ve never tried that, so I can’t say for sure. The canned dough can be a little finicky.

Hi Stacey! I made these Garlic Parmesan Knots the other day and they were great! So fast and easy, and a definite hit that I’ll be making again. Thanks!
By the way, I know it was a few years ago, but I enjoyed reading about your special birthday. What a lovely surprise and special memories with family and friends. You are blessed!

Could you do the garlic knots as well with a batch of buttermilk biscuit dough from scratch?
I’ve never tried it that way. I’m not sure the texture would be quite the same.
