Yummy & Easy Garlic Knots

I had a craving for garlic knots today. These were really easy and absolutely delicious, so I thought I'd share...

I mixed up a batch of Chebes garlic and onion breadsticks (the pizza mix or bread mix would work too). I used about 1/3 c. grated parm with the mix, and used a very large glass mixing bowl to make the mix so that I could just knead it in the bowl. I rolled the mix out between parchment paper and used a pizza cutter to slice the dough into about 16 pieces.

I've discovered that it's easy to add too much liquid to Chebes, because it seems so dry and crumbly. Knead it before you decide if it needs more liquid.

I rolled the pieces into little logs and formed them into knots, squishing them down a bit when I stuck them on the cookies sheet (on top of the parchment paper I'd rolled them out on). I baked them on the top rack at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, then moved them down to the middle rack for another 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, I washed that big bowl. Minced 2 cloves of garlic, several pinches of fresh flat leaf parsely, mixed that with about 1/8 cup fresh grated parm and about 1/4 -1/3 cup olive oil & 1/2 tsp. sea salt. Mixed that up.

Tossed the baked knots in the garlic oil mixture in the big bowl, and set them on a serving platter with the heat turned off in the oven and the door ajar until serving.

They were deliciious. They're softer in the middle than traditional garlic knots, and so unbelievably good.

I'm thrilled that I had six left over to freeze/reheat for our next pasta dinner. I can't remember the last time I had garlic knots, but I know it was over two years ago and I used to have them at least once a week.

If you don't like Chebes, or it isn't available, this same method should theoretically work with any gluten-free pizza crust you use.

We make the Chebe bread sticks with Asiago cheese. seems to have more flavor. When they are mostly cooked, we take them out & brush olive oil on them & then sprinkle with a little garlic salt & a lot of garlic powder. Put them back in to cook. Similar idea. Yum.

Sounds good!!! I have always loved Asiago cheese. Used to make pepperoni and asiago puff pastries that were a big hit.

I have done without my beloved cheese for 10 months. I had homemade pizza last week and it "sat fine" :>) I was soooo happy to have that treat back in my life. Time to test the waters a bit more.... :D

That sounds good, Karen! I'm stickin Asiago cheese on my grocery list!

Speaking of Chebes, I baked two sandwich roll sized frozen Chebe dough this morning and sliced them in half (straight out of the oven, not a good idea, but I was on a mission!) :lol:

I broiled the halves for a couple of minutes and they came out sort of like English muffins. I had a BLT with raddichio and romaine on mine. DP had scrambled eggs and bacon on his.

I think I might start baking the extra Chebe rolls and freezing them so I can make the "English Muffins" without cursing about how hot they are. :D

That BLT was sublime.

Which dough did you use for the rolls? The breadstick dough? I have heard people put cheddar in them and that would be good for a sandwich.

I haven't had a good experience with Chebe lately. It's so sticky, any tips? Would love to make some of these.

Hi Karen,

I used frozen dough from the original Chebe bread mix.

Looking at the ingredients, I think the only difference between Chebe pizza crust, bread sticks, and bread mix is that they have baking powder in the bread mix and a few spices in the bread stick mix. So you can make rolls from the other mixes if you add some baking powder before kneading.

What amazed me were the little air holes that looked like English Muffins when I sliced them and stuck them back in the oven. I burnt the bejesus out of my fingers to do it, but that BLT made me happy.

There was a lady at our church who used to mix black poppy seeds, mustard (probably ballpark), minced onion and butter together. She'd spread that on buns, put a piece of ham and a slice of cheddar cheese on them and serve them hot. They were the bomb. I always looked for them at the potlucks.

I think that would be a good sandwich on these "muffins". Yum!

I think all of Chebe products will be a little sticky in the middle. I tell myself it's because it's cheesy. :D

I do find that if you follow package directions to a tee, or perhaps even cut back a wee bit on the liquid until you have kneaded the dough it helps cut down the sticky factor.

When I'm mixing it, it seems super dry, like I need to add liquid. I did that a few times and then when I was kneading it I had to add flour.

When I limit the liquid and knead the crumbly mixed up dough, it almost feels like the old gluten stuff at the end, and isn't sticky.

Hope that helps. You can add like 1/2 tsp baking powder to the breadstick mix before you add the eggs, that could help too.

But I swear once you have that hot bread, cheese, garlic and salt again, the texture is secondary. They were defenitly an A for us, I'll be making them again.

Hope that helps! :D

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There are thirteen essential vitamins:  eight B vitamins, four fat soluble vitamins, and Vitamin C.  They all work together.   If you are deficient in one, you are probably low in the other dozen.  Celiac Disease affects the absorption of all the vitamins, and the dozen or so essential minerals, as well.  Cobalamine Vitamin B12, needs Folate B9 and Pyridoxine B6 to function properly.  Pyridoxine B6 needs Riboflavin B2.  Vitamin C is needed to interact with B12 as well.  Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3 are also needed to provide the energy for these vitamins to function properly.  If one is also low in Folate and Pyridoxine, B12 Cobalamine is not going to be able to function properly and the body doesn't bother to absorb it.   Vitamin D is safe even in high doses.  Vitamin D3 should be supplemented.  Vitamin D2 is not as well utilized because it's synthetic, not a form the body can utilize easily.  Vitamin D must be activated by Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Insufficient Thiamine B1 will make one feel "dopey".  Thiamine is needed for brain function.  The brain uses as much energy just thinking as your muscles do while running a marathon.   Multivitamins do not contain sufficient amounts of essential vitamins to correct nutritional deficiencies.  Supplementing with ALL eight B vitamins, extra Thiamine (don't use the form thiamine mononitrate because it's not absorbed nor utilized well), Vitamin C and the four fat soluble vitamins will be more beneficial than just supplementing one or two vitamins by themselves. With sufficient amounts of essential vitamins, the immune system gets regulated and becomes less reactive to other things like pollen, molds and animal dander.  Sleep apnea is frequently found in Thiamine insufficiency.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.  The B vitamins all work together.  Supplement them together.

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By Michelle Amirault-Packard · Posted

      He should definitely have his vitamin D and Vitamin B12 checked.  I have celiac and i always felt tired, sometimes i described it as dopy.My vitamin D is always low at times extremely low which can affect you. But  I also did some research and contacted my doctor to see if she checked my Vitamin B12 and She said she didn’t check my vitamin B-12 because a wasn’t Anemic and the normal protocol is , if you are not Anemic they don’t test for B-12.  She had no problem doing the test for me and it came back super super deficient . So I was given a shot of B12 once a week for 4 weeks and I give myself 1 shot intramuscular once a month now for 18 years. Once your B12 is low it can take a long time to bring it back up and sustain it. I think it took about 6 months to get a decent number and about a year to get it right. I do get my Vitamin D checked but not yearly more like every other year because it is a more expensive test and I tend to always be low. I do take a vitamin D supplement but I would talk to your doctor before taking a supplement to make sure you don’t take too much especially if you are already taking a multivitamin. Because too much D can also have some bad side effects.  Celiacs tend to be able to take a higher dose due to our digestive and malabsorption issues but always talk to your doctor before taking. Other things could be making him feel extremely tired  like new allergies like pollens, animals, molds etc.. sleep apnea is a huge one( cause extreme fatigue) and some medications. Just other things he can have checked! Good luck

      Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I suggest you eliminate dairy from your son's diet next.  Cow's milk protein, Casein, can trigger tTg IgA antibody production, the same as gluten, because casein contains segments of proteins that resemble gluten protein segments.   Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/ I cannot consume dairy products.  Some people find they can tolerate A2 dairy without a reaction. Corn is another frequently hard to tolerate food because the protein zein in corn also resembles the protein structure of gluten.   Do research in Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and TTFD thiamine.  Taking TTFD really can make a dramatic difference, speaking from personal experience. https://hormonesmatter.com/energy-deficiency-asd/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Bowel issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're doing everything right with your gluten-free diet, yet still experiencing significant discomfort, which must be frustrating. Since your stool sample came back normal but symptoms persist, pushing for further investigation—like a colonoscopy or biopsy—is a reasonable next step. You might also want to discuss the possibility of additional conditions, such as IBS, microscopic colitis, or other inflammatory issues, with your doctor. Tracking your symptoms, diet, and triggers in detail could help identify patterns. Don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself—if your current doctor isn’t addressing your concerns, seeking a second opinion or a referral to a gastroenterologist could be beneficial. You’re right to seek answers, and I hope you find relief soon. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
