Ingredients

The following ingredients have 48 Servings
  • 1 pound store-bought or homemade pizza dough, at room temperature
  • All purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 Tablespoon finely chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Marinara sauce, for serving (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Lightly flour your work surface then using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a 10-inch square. (If needed, the dough can also be pulled and stretched with your hands.) 
  • Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, cut the square in half to form two rectangles then cut each rectangle widthwise into 12 strips. 
  • Tie each strip into a knot then arrange the knots on the lined baking sheets. 
  • Bake the knots for 7 minutes, then rotate the baking sheets and bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the knots are baked through. 
  • While the knots bake, combine the minced garlic, olive oil and butter in a small sauce pan set over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic butter, stirring, until the garlic just begins to turn golden brown. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
  • Remove the knots from the oven and immediately brush them with the garlic mixture. Sprinkle them with the grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping (optional).
