Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Knots
- 1 (13 ounce) can pizza dough (found in the refrigerated section)
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- 3 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray to prevent the knots from sticking.
- Shape the Dough: Open the can of pizza dough and lay it flat on a clean surface. Slice the dough into 12 equal strips. Tie each strip into a knot shape, tucking the ends underneath to secure.
- Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, dried oregano, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine. Reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons of this mixture for brushing later.
- Brush and Bake: Brush the remaining butter mixture evenly over each knot. Arrange the knots on the prepared sheet pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Final Brush and Serve: Remove the knots from the oven and immediately brush with the reserved butter mixture for extra flavor and shine. Serve warm, optionally with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Use canned pizza dough rather than making your own for convenience and perfectly thick knots without the need for rolling pins.
- Slice the dough evenly with a pizza cutter or kitchen shears for best results.
- Serve with a warm marinara sauce for a delicious dipping option to complement the garlic knots.
