This recipe will got great with the Mama Mia’s Minestrone from yesterday or any other great Italian meal. It is a recipe that I adapted from one I found in an issue of Simple and Delicious. These are easy to make because they start off with a can of refrigerated biscuit dough. However, they look fancy because you shape the dough in a knot. Pretty, yummy and easy. What more could you want? You could do the same thing with your favorite roll recipe too. Just shape the same, bake according to your roll recipe and brush with the oil mixture.
Easy Parmesan Knots
Ingredients
- 1 tube (12 ounces) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits ( I used Pillsbury Golden Layers Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits)
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (I did use the green can stuff)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
Instructions
- Roll each biscuit into a 12-in. rope and tie into a knot; tuck ends under. Place 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; brush the warm knots with the mixture. Yield:10 knots.

These were amazing! Super easy to make and the topping was just phenomenal! Thanks so much for the wonderful and easy recipe!
Why aren’t you print friendly? I would like to keep this reciepe but I can’t find a way to print it.
Marilyn, Don’t you see the print icon on the recipe. If you can’t print off that you can copy and paste it in a word doc

Hi Amela, go to the King Arthur Flour website and they have some wonderful biscuit recipes there. I will be using one of them myself when I make these wonderful looking knots in a couple of days (thank you Laura!). BTW their flour is heads and tails over any other I’ve tried. Not sure if you can get it there though.
Hi everyone!
Thanks for your replies, Stacey no sorry I don’t think we have Bisquick here, sounds interesting though!
Marilee, I now know not to try scones with this recipe, so thanks
And Megan, I googled a recipe and found this:

Maybe it will work? I don’t know but I will try and hopefully post how it goes!
Hi I am from Australia and we sadly don’t have refrigerated buttermilk biscuits. What could be the alternative? Are scones similar?
Did you get a response to this yet? I had an internship in Australia in 2010, and from what I remember, you don’t have anything prepackaged that are comparable to biscuits. However, making some biscuits from scratch isn’t all that hard. Google it. I’m sorry, I wish the reply was an easier answer!
Just a point … I make scones and the dough is not comparable. I would say just a simple yeast dough would work.
Hi, Amela!
Do you have things like Bisquick?-A prepackaged biscuit mix you add with milk or water? That might work…
Always wanted to visit Australia! :0 )
I hope it’s alright, I linked you back as the recipe source when I made these (http://thegentlebaker.blogspot.com/2012/08/easy-peasy-garlic-parmesan-knots.html) . I adapted it slightly but still basically the same. And man, oh man, are these good. Thank you for sharing!
The knots look beautiful, much better than normal rolls. Perfect recipe for the next bbq!
These knots look delicious. Can’t wait to try them.
It is much easier to just brush jarred basil pesto on flaky layers knots and add parm 5 minutes before the biscuits come out. i saw the picture on this blog and immediately thought that’s what the recipe was. this recipe seems more complex, with virtually the same ingredients.
what are you talking about, it was so easy! loved it!
I think she means its easier to use already made basil pesto, instead of mixing all of those ingredients. Either way sounds delicious!
@Kenlie – this recipe is actually LESS complex than yours. You just cook the knots and then brush with the other ingredients – no need to take them out an add parm 5 min before they’re done.
I was curious if you could use olive oil instead of canola oil?
Yes you can.
I would use melted butter instead- much more rich!
Dang, Kenlie, you got TOLD!
Made these tonight after pinning it off of Pinterest. SO GOOD! They were a hit and are sure to make regular appearances on the dinner table. THANKS!
Mmm these would go great with a lot of dishes!
Iade these with dinner tonight and they were a jig hit everyone loved them and they were so easy to make
I’m from Germany and we don’t have any kind refridgerated biscuits. Is it a simple yeast dough? I could make that from scratch. The recipe looks delicious, I really wanna try it!
These are DANGEROUS! If your a “bread” person like me your in trouble. I could have skipped the rest of the meal and eat all of knots! Thank you for sharing.
I found these on Pinterest and made them last night using crescent rolls. Unfortunately I only had a 4 pack of rolls and the Mister was asking for more! Super simple and very yummy!
I made these knots last night, and used crescent roll dough instead of biscuits. I loved them! They were super easy and fast, and well received by the family. Can’t wait to try them again! I was also surprised how easy it was to make them look pretty, which is always a plus.
i know these rolls will be delish, grocery tomorrow, rolls tomorrow night.
thank you.
I tried this yesterday with a few modifications; I used half a bisket for each knot since i have little kids (who helped). I also dipped the raw knot into the dry mixture before baking and skipped the oil and it worked out fin.
It may be too complicated and very far-reaching for me. I am expecting for your another publication, and I will try to obtain it! Actually the posting is spreading its wings quickly, trying to find it…
I have made these, they are delicious!
Simply amazing. These were basically the simplest, most foolproof things I’ve ever made. My mom couldn’t stop telling me she needed the recipe.
I have made these twice, the first time I used biscuits and they turned out great! the second time I used crescent rolls and they were just as good. BUT the crescent rolls are easier to tie into knots!
Found this recipe via pinterest. Looks good. Can’t wait to try it out!
I am making these as I type this! Can not wait to eat them!
I came across this on Pinterest and boy am I glad I did! I love shortcut recipes and this one looks like a fabulous addition to just about any dinner!
I have to make these immediately. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds good, but wouldn’t you brush on the ingredients before baking them so the bread absorbs the flavors??
Hi! I am not exactly sure how to do a ‘linkback’ but I wanted to share that I mentioned your recipe and post on my blog here: http://jalafrye.blogspot.com/2011/07/summer-delight.html
they were a huge hit with my entire family! thanks for sharing!
Pray tell, what is refrigerated buttermilk biscuits? I live in South Africa, and am ot sure that I’ve seen or heard of this before. Is it like a puff pastry o short pastry? Pardon the ignorance.

Buttermilk biscuits are bread. It is a convenience food – biscuits in a cardboard tube. Use a bread recipe which is for making buns. The thing abt these is the topping.
While making the 12 inch ropes, I suggest rolling the final length of rope in the mixture so it is throughout the biscuit.
they are just standard cold dough that comes in a wrapped tube thing you buy at the store, like for biscuts. you pull the paper and it opens the tube up and the dough is inside…?! you put the dough on a cookie sheet and bake it and have biscuts…
no, they are Canned biscuits that’s a common staple here in the US for those who can’t or don’t have time for home made biscuits. they come in the dairy sections of our grocery stores.
These look great! I made something similar recently and they were gone so fast!
These are DELICIOUS! I’m eating way too many right now, I can’t stop! I added a little bit more canola oil and ending up spooning the “chunks” onto the rolls, because I didn’t have a brush.
I also used crescent rolls instead of buttermilk biscuits, and YUM!
I’ll be making these very often, thank you!
I wondered if the crescent roll will work!
I literally JUST made these, and they are amazing! I added a little more of the ingredients for the canola oil mixture because I made more than, ten, but I didn’t measure I just added, which turned out just fine! They are absolutely delicious and really fun to make! Love them!
I found this recipe on pinterest and I can’t wait to try it!
I made these tonight with the Cheesy Chicken Lasagna. Oh goodness. I didn’t know refrigerated biscuits could be so delicious!
Made them for dinner and omg are they ever good!!!!!
Made these for my family tonight and they were a HUGE success! Everyone absolutely loved them. Thank you so much!
Holy Cow! While not nearly as pretty as yours turned out, they were delicious! I made 8 for dinner and ended up eating 4 myself… whoops.
These look amazing. I am going to link these into my blog next week on my Menu Monday post. I can’t wait to try these.
These are so easy and good. Thanks! I plan to add these to regular rotation.
Made these last night for dinner and they were absolutely delicious! I used garlic salt since I didn’t have garlic powder, and also threw in some minced garlic. So yummy! I’m not a huge fan of parmesan but my family loves it, and I still loved these! Thanks!!
Oh, these looks great! Love the bread sticks and the like around our house. Definitely getting put on the list!
This would go well with my sphagetti. I’ll try making one later and i’ll be adding cheese toppings when baking it.
Such an original shape – I’ve never seen anything like this! And they must be yummy too
I can almost taste them just looking at them…
anyone try these with cinnamon sugar? Will make them this morning!
super yum!
I used refrigerated crescent roll dough. I used two crescents per 12-inch stick, knotted it, and baked at 400 for 10 minutes. It worked out great and was delicious!
I am trying these out tonight for dinner, to go with our spaghetti and meatballs! Thanks for the recipe!!
OMG! I’m SO gonna make these!
I featured them on my blog too.

Can I sub garlic salt for the garlic powder? Trying to whip up dinner without having to make a trip to the store
These taste so good! I’m making them for a Christmas get-together today. They definitely took more than 8-10 minutes to cook though. I reduced the heat to 350-375 and put in for about 15-20 minutes (the inside dough is hard to cook through). But I love mine a little on the dough-y side, so that’s ok. The flavor is amazing!
I made these tonight. Oh my gosh, so good.
I love these! I have made them for my family and friends for a while and they are always a huge hit. My suggestion would be to use texas buttermilk biscuits because they are so soft and they don’t even need to be reheated the next day. I normally get the Food Lion brand because they are softer than normal.
That photo looks so delicious!
Grand idea. From scratch or not. Just delicious. (Of course, I’m a Parmesan fiend)
Came across your blog for the first time yesterday! Love it! I am menu planning for next week right now and we are using this recipe! I post my menus on my blog so I am linking it back here! Can’t wait to try them and many more recipes!
looks like you used either real garlic or sea salt as well… yum
What a quick easy recipe… and those rolls are so cute looking!
Do you have a recipe for a more homemade version of this? Like for the dough? These knots look awesome.
these look so yummy-and so easy too!!
These sound so good! Thanks for sharing.
These look fabulous Laura. I want to make them this second.
I just love your recipes. Easy and wonderful! Thank you so much!!
oh yum, those look so good! My husband would love these. they look so fancy!
I am making this with Christmas dinner!
