Learn how to make Fluffy and tasty 'Garlic Knots' with our chef Bhumika Bhurani.

Garlic knots are a type of garlic bread found primarily in pizzerias around New York City and the surrounding regions. Garlic knots are typically made from bread dough. The dough is rolled and then pulled into small, tight overhand knots, and baked in an oven and later dipped in Garlic Butter. A big basket of garlic knots is a great party treat and is pretty easy to make, also it goes brilliantly with Cheese Fondue, Cream Cheese Dip, and Mayonnaise;
