Description
Golden garlic knots made with refrigerated pizza dough, tossed in fresh garlic butter, and finished with oregano, parsley, and grated cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can pizza dough, 13.8 oz
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3-6 cloves of garlic, minced (depends how garlicky you want them!)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan, Parmesan Reggiano or Pecorino Romano cheese, freshly grated
- cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or spray lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Open the canned dough and lay it flat. Using a pizza wheel or sharp knife, cut the dough into quarters, then cut each quarter vertically into 4 strips, Giving you 16 strips. Tie each strip into a knot shape, tucking the ends underneath each roll.
- Bake the knots (without the butter) for 8-10 minutes or until visibly golden brown.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter and oil together either in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Once melted, add the garlic and stir until fragrant being careful not to burn it (30 seconds) Pour this into a large bowl. Set aside.
- When the knots are out of the oven place them in the bowl with the melted garlic butter and stir to coat.
- Sprinkle the oregano, parsley and parmesan cheese over the knots and toss to coat. Set on a plate and scrape any remaining butter onto the knots using a rubber spatula!
Notes
I've simplified this recipe for you even more by using store bought pizza dough, but go ahead and use your own dough or get it from a pizza place. All 3 will work!
