Garlic Knots

By kagvt2003

Ingredients

• Parchment paper or Cooking spray
• Pizza Dough (I used Pillsbury Thin Pizza Crust)
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 Tbsp garlic, minced
• Extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle
• Kosher salt, sprinkle
• 1/8 cup shredded Parmesan
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsle

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees (or pizza dough/crust directions). Place parchment paper on large baking sheet, or spray with cooking spray.
2. Over medium-low heat, melt butter and minced garlic until garlic is fragrant- approximately 3-4 minutes.
3. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside.
4. Lightly flour work surface.
5. Place pizza crust/dough on top and roll out dough into a large rectangle.
6. Sprinkle the olive oil on top. Using a brush, brush the olive oil on top, ensuring to cover the entire dough.
7. Cut the dough into strips about 1" wide.
8. Tie each dough strip into a knot, stretching gently if necessary.
9. Place each knot onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
10. Bake until golden brown and risen, approximately 10 minutes.
11. Brush the warm garlic-butter mixture on each knot, and sprinkle the shredded cheese and parsley. (The golden knot absorbed the garlic-butter mixture quickly- I brushed each knot twice.)
12. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt, if necessary. Serve immediately.
