Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200 C (400 F)

In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, oregano, parsley and salt

Cut dough into 16 30-gram (1-ounce) balls. Roll each dough ball into a 15-centimetre (6-inch) rope, about 1 1/2-centimetre (1/2-inch) thick, and tie into a knot

Tucking longer ends back under the knot (the part that will be the bottom)

Place prepared knots on a non-stick baking sheet and brush knots with about half of the butter mixture

Bake knots for about 10 minutes, until golden brown

Serve warm with the remaining butter mixture for dipping
