Garlic Knots

This is a super simple recipe for garlic knots that includes only a few ingredients.  They can be made with store bought or homemade pizza dough and are a perfect addition to any pizza night! Enjoy!!

Ingredients:

1 pizza dough

1/2 stick (4 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted 

1/4 cup olive oil1 tbsp chopped fresh garlic

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp chopped parsley

1 tbsp chopped oregano

1 tbsp pecorino romano cheese, grated

  

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
(You can heat your oven to 350 and bake slightly longer.  I used a 400 degree oven because I was also baking pizza at the same time which requires a higher degree of temperature.)

• Cut dough into 18 equal sized portions
• Roll each portion between your palms to create a 6" rope
• Twist each rope into a knot and tuck pieces underneath.  Place on a greased cookie sheet or silpat.
• Melt butter in microwave then stir in oil, chopped garlic and garlic powder.  Brush the tops of each knot with the butter mixture.
• Bake in oven for about 15 mins or until slightly golden.  Remove and sprinkle with parsley, oregano and cheese.
• Enjoy!
