Ingredients
1 lb pizza dough
4 tbsp unsalted butter
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
Instructions
1. Roll out the pizza dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle on a floured surface.
2. Slice the dough into 1-inch strips and tie each into a knot.
3. Place knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
4. Cover with a towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush knots with olive oil or melted butter.
6. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.
7. While baking, melt butter in a saucepan and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
8. Stir in chopped parsley and remove from heat.
9. Toss hot knots in garlic butter to coat evenly.
10. Sprinkle with Parmesan and a pinch of salt. Serve warm.
Notes
Use room temperature dough for easier shaping and a better rise.
Avoid overbaking—watch the knots in the final minutes to keep them soft.
Garlic burns quickly, so sauté it briefly and remove from heat immediately.
