Ingredients
-
1 package (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
-
3 garlic cloves (minced)
-
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. -
Prepare the Dough:
Roll out the pizza dough onto a floured surface. Cut the dough into 12 strips (about 1 inch wide). -
Shape the Knots:
Take each strip of dough and tie it into a knot shape, then place the knots onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each knot. -
Make the Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well. -
Brush the Knots:
Use a brush to generously coat each dough knot with the garlic butter mixture. Reserve a little bit of the butter for later. -
Bake the Knots:
Bake the garlic knots in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Finish and Serve:
Once baked, brush the remaining garlic butter over the knots. Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley for garnish. Serve warm.
