Garlic Knots
Garlic Knots are delicious strips of pizza dough, knotted up and baked with a garlic parmesan topping.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces pizza dough
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare baking pans by lining them with parchment paper and spraying with non-stick spray. Roll out pizza dough into a large rectangle.
- Cut the rectangle in half so that you have 2 equal squares of dough. Cut each square into 4 strips. Cut these strips in half. You should now have 16 (fairly) equal pieces of dough.
- Roll each strip into an 8 inch rope.
- Tie the rope into a knot. You can choose whether to tuck the ends under or not, that’s just a matter of preference.
- Place each knot on the pan lined with parchment paper and sprayed. Leave a little space between each knot to allow for rising. Lightly cover the pans and allow the knots to rise until doubled in size. This usually takes about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt butter and stir in seasonings: garlic powder, oregano, and parsley. Save the parmesan to be used later.
- When the knots have finished rising, brush on the butter mixture, saving some for later. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
- While baking, add the parmesan cheese to the leftover butter mixture. Allow the knots to cool slightly, then brush this mixture over the knots. Sprinkle them with extra cheese if you’d like.
Notes
Rolling Out Dough: If you have trouble rolling the dough out into a rectangle, it may need a bit of time to sit and come to room temperature. This makes it easier to work with than when it's cold.
Storage: Garlic knots may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 – 3 days. You can also store them in the fridge for up to a week. They are best warmed before serving.
Freezing: You may freeze the garlic knots before or after baking. They will freeze for up to 3 months. To freeze prior to baking, freeze the knots after they have risen and before you brush them with the garlic butter mixture.
