Easy Garlic Knots
These easy garlic knots are made using premade pizza dough baked in homemade garlic butter until golden brown.
Ingredients
- 1 lb prepared pizza dough
- 1 stick butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbs garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbs fresh parsley, chopped
- ¼-1/2 c parmesan cheese
- ½ c tomato sauce for dunking (optional)
Instructions
- First, roll the pizza dough flat using a rolling pin and cut it into strips that are about 5 inches long and ½" thick. Knot the dough but keep the knot loose so the dough remains fluffy. Don't tie the knot too tight.
- Now place them down onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Next, melt the butter in the microwave (this should only take around 30 seconds to a minute) and whisk in the fresh garlic, garlic powder, salt, pepper and parsley.
- After that, brush the tops of each knot with a thin layer of the garlic butter mixture. There will me a lot left, be sure to keep it for later.
- Then bake the knots at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the dough is cooked all the way through.
- Finally, add parmesan cheese to the remaining garlic butter mixture and toss the cooked knots into butter until they are all evenly coated. If the butter is too thick and started to harden, pop it into the microwave for 10 seconds to melt it again.
- Serve with tomato sauce for dipping (optional) and enjoy!
