For those of you who swoon over garlic twisty bread but can’t bring yourself to order whole pizza to make the delivery worthwhile, this one’s for you! They are scrumptious! Dip some in marinara or serve them with a salad and pasta! You could also eat them alone, directly from your kitchen counter. No one will know. Promise.
To push them over the edge of deliciousness, I am going to tuck a little bit of Parmesan cheese in the middle of each roll before I form them into little dough balls next time! This was a request from my husband who is a certified twisty bread lover. He wanted them cheesy with more of a garlic presence; so I will appease him next round! I suggest using a little cooking spray in the muffin tin because I had 3 of them stick! You’d better believe I chiseled them out with a knife and ate them! Wouldn’t want to let any dough go to waste now would we?
I used Trader Joe’s plain pizza dough for this batch! So convenient!
Start by mincing 4 cloves of garlic. Set aside.
While your dough is getting to room temp, get your muffin tin ready and put some oil in a little bowl.
Cut the dough into 12 pieces. Form into balls and place them in the muffin tins.
Put a pinch of garlic on top. Next time I will fold the sides over so there’s garlic inside as well as on top!
Brush the tops with olive oil and place in the oven for 15-18 mins.
Here’s what they look like after 17 minutes in my oven.
Dip them in a bowl of melted butter and parsley. Lube them up! Then add salt on top.
You have yourself a very delicious little garlic knot/roll.
Garlic Butter Rolls
(recipe Real Simple Magazine)
- 1 pound plain or whole wheat pizza dough (thawed)
- 4 cloves chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons chopped parsley
- Tear pizza dough (thawed according to package directions) into 12 pieces and place in the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin. (I suggest spraying the bottoms of the muffin tin with cooking spray so they release easily!)
- Divide 4 cloves chopped garlic among the pieces of dough, pressing them into the centers. Drizzle with olive oil and bake at 425° F until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Toss in a bowl with melted butter and chopped parsley; season with salt.

I will move in with both of you and we will all get fat!
yummy yummy. I always like garlic twists with my pizza. talk about a carb overload. just the way I like it
hells YES. i’m a fiend. Did you see that domino pasta in a bread bowl thing? Ridiculous yet intriguing!
I made up a recipe that is the same as the Domino’s pasta bowls and they taste amazing you should try to make them before making fun, its easy and filling and yummy.
gracious i miss tj’s.
i wish i could come bake/cook/eat with you for a day, or a week.
ooh! that would be fun! what should we make?
Wow, these look so good. I forgot about garlic knots because it’s been so long since I’ve had them.
I think this might be a baking adventure for me this weekend.
Such a good idea! And parmesan in the middle?? Oh my.
I have to try these!
they look so good:)
I want to lick my screen right now, those look so GOOD!!
Love your site and those rolls looking amazing. I plan to try the broccoli too! I forwarded your site to sooo many of my friends.
What a great simple and delicious idea. I am going to bookmark this and try these!
Thanks for the great recipe!
*kisses* HH
I’m sorry but that is just wrong. I would eat all 12 by myself. Next time we have a casual gathering, I’m totally making those.
Oh, yeah — these would be awesome with garlic inside. Maybe even a garlic and herb pesto… or some cheese… I think I’m feeling inspired!
oooh yes! herb pesto would be the bomb!
going to my mom’s for spaghetti + salad tonight and guess what *I’M* bringin?!
oh yeah!
F-yeah girl! did you put some cheese up in??

Oh, these just look fabulous. I need something quick and easy to accompany my lunch tomorrow. These look like just the ticket…unfortunately, I don’t have pizza dough in the freezer…but I can make some!
“Lube them up!” hahahaha…love it
wow i made them ate one and my mouth had an orgasm….
hahaha! exactly!
did you really just say “lube them up!”????
yes person. i did. it’s totally in my regular nomenclature.
Oh wow. I could so easily enjoy those all by myself and not share a single one.

It’s almost Midnight, my mouth is watering and I have to go to the store to get garlic and pizza dough.

Would like to put this recipe on my website, is that ok with you. will link it back to your site!
Please let me know
Thanks

This are some of the best looking garlic butter rolls I have ever seen. It’s 2:30 a.m. Central time and I am hungry! Thanks for sharing.
I am sorry, I a mean “these are……”
mouthwatering…just can’t get enough of this!!!
Just stumbled this recipe…Wow!!! So making these tonite…they look scrumptious!!!
I made these but they did not come out as pretty! But were delicious! Thank you for the recipe.
OMG those look sooooo good! I have a pull apart dinner roll recipe that is ready in an hour that would be fabulous for this. I have saved the recipe, thanks!
mmmm, they look delicious. Added to favs to cook later!
Your garlic rolls have made be SOOOOOOO hungry! I shouldn’t be looking at delicious food this late at night!
Isn’t that the worst?! So sorry…perhaps you can make them soon?
So delicious. I love the photograph that shows how soft and airy they are inside. DROOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
These look phenomenal. They also kinda remind of those cheese bread balls at Brazilian restaurants. Definitely making these very soon…my husband would die.
These look sooo yummy! Will give it a shot soon! Thanks for posting!
Wow, these look yummy. I just made some, I made them a bit big and left them in for a bit too long, but the basic idea was still there and they were really good. I didn’t expect perfection the first time around, so my next go with be much better. Thanks for the recipe!
Don’t give up!! They are tasty
It’s very delicious
Just made these now with trader joe’s garlic and herb pizza dough….YUMMMMMMMMMY!!!! thanks for the great idea!! I look forward to trying new combintaions..adding cheese, pesto, etc.
this recipe makes me sad that i have a gluten intolerance. looks so yummy!
Don’t get me wrong here, those do look pretty delicious but when you’re making a recipe for rolls, isn’t it kinda cheating to have pre-made dough be an ingredient? The dough is like, the entire thing. It’s like writing a recipe for macaroni and cheese that has a box of kraft dinner in the ingredients.
Anything with garlic is an automatic favorite of mine.
Wow, so easy! (Especially since I live a block down from a Trader Joe’s) I’ll find any excuse to use garlic and more garlic.
oh man..if i lived a block away from TJs, I’d be in trouble!!! YOU ARE SOO LUCKY!
These look super yummy!
Wow….the look of these are incredible. Honestly, they look better than most restaurants I’ve seen. Going to try this out and see if the taste matches up
made them tonight for dinner and seved it with pasta and roasted broccoli (your recipe)….it was an instant hit….thanks a ton…
i love how quick & easy this recipe is!! i get these crazy cravings for garlic knots all the time so this would be great when i get those 3am cravings!
These look amazing! My husband would love something like this. You could even add a little marinara inside or on the top to create a little extra flavor. Just may have to steal this one from you, although I will give you full credit when my husband is devouring them like its the end of the world!!
wow. that’s kind of AMAZING.
Would one pound of Trader Joe’s dough be equivalent to half of your pizza dough recipe?
yup!
Oh my, these look SO good! I think it is easy enough for me to do as well!
those look sooooo delicious *drools*
Wow nice little treasures. A very smart appetizer recipe, congrats!
Ok, I have to hide these now for my dinner later! I made twice the recipe for a dinner party tonight; meeting my son’s new girlfriend. I tried one of the rolls without the butter sauce and they are fantastic! They will be wonderful for our dinner tonight and, I’m sure, even more addictive with the butter! Thank you for this recipe. I will be making these for all special occasions for the rest of my life!
hi! I can’t seem to pin anything directly from your website?? I wanted to pin these garlic rolls since I made them and LOVED them! I’ve seen the link to your Pinterest page, but I couldn’t find the rolls on there so I could repin.
any advice…?
I’ve had the same problem too! Gotta figure it out!
Mine did not come out soft – maybe it was the batch(es) – 3 of them of TJs dough?
They were not nearly as soft and fluffy as I’d hoped – but I appreciate the sharing.
hi this would be great for thanksgiving but i have one question were did you buy the pizza dough???if you can please let me know
I got mine at Trader Joes!
Yummy pizza rolls.
