Easy Parmesan Breadstick Knots
Fluffy perfect Parmesan breadstick knots! They are incredibly easy to make and can be yours (made at home!) in just about an hour.
Fluffy, buttery, cheesy, cute, little breadstick knots.
That’s what we’re focusing on today. And is there anything better really? I am a bread lover through and through. So when you grab my favorite breadstick recipe in the history of ever, change it up just a bit, throw in some punchy parm, and tie each dough strip into an adorable knot…well, I’m going to be a serious fan.
And if you’re intimidated at all by the tying of the breadstick knot, put that fear aside!
Not only do I have a simple picture tutorial, but I also included a quick, 15-second video below to show the simple process. If you get over the idea that they have to look perfect pre-bake, you’ll be good to go. Magical things happen to dough in the oven. All those little imperfections and sticky spots transform into something fluffy and perfect.
This recipe originally appeared in an eCookbook I published back in 2016. That ebook is no longer for sale, but these parmesan breadstick knots deserve a permanent place to live. Mostly because my family and I make them all.the.time.
In addition to posting the recipe here, I wanted to make sure there was actually value added in sharing the recipe (again). Hence the simple how-to video for shaping these babies!
How to Shape Parmesan Breadstick Knots
I don’t know why, but for some reason, these breadstick knots taste better simply because they are tied in a cute little knot! Skeptical? Well, I guess you’ll just have to make them and see! Plus, who doesn’t dream of living on the wild side and changing up their breadstick routine now and then?
Shape aside, the bits of golden, savory cheese dotting the baked breadstick are absolutely heavenly. I’m a sucker for parmesan or asiago cheese bread of any sort (like this bagel bread or these asiago rolls), and throwing some freshly grated cheese into this every day, simple breadstick dough elevates an already amazing breadstick to all new levels.
Because these easy breadsticks come together in about an hour, they are perfect for an easier weeknight (and fabulous for weekends or company). We serve them with everything from simple weeknight spaghetti to corn chowder to taco salad.
Put a little excitement in your next breadstick making endeavor and go for parm + knot tying! I promise, it’s kind of fun.
