We ♥ Makers




1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.

2. Unroll dough onto cutting board. Cut out 10 to 15 (5x3-inch) strips. Place 1 cheese cube in center of each strip; sprinkle each with bacon. Wrap dough around cheese and bacon to resemble knot; pinch dough to seal tightly. Place on cookie sheet. Brush each knot with olive oil. Sprinkle tops with salt for a pretzel flavor.

3. Bake about 15 minutes or until light golden brown.

4. Serve warm and gooey with salsa for dipping.

Tips:

* You can change up the cheese to add some variety.

* For extra flavor, sprinkle a little garlic salt on the knots before baking.
