Ingredients
- 1 lb batch homemade pizza dough that has been risen and punched down. You can also use store bought pizza dough. recipe here.
- Olive oil, for brushing
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed through a garlic press
- 1 tsp coarse salt
- 2 Tbsp parsley, finely minced
garnishes
- Parmesan Cheese
- coarse salt, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F
- You can use homemade pizza dough (my recipe is insanely easy, so go for it!) or use a readymade dough from the store. You'll need 1 lb of pizza dough that's been risen once and punched down. Store bought dough is ready to use, but you'll want to leave it out on the counter to come to room temp before using.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and cut the ball of dough into 4 equal parts using a bench scraper or knife.
- Divide each quarter into 4 more equal parts, so you’ll have 16 total. I like to keep my dough covered in plastic when not working on it so it doesn’t dry out.
- Roll each piece out into a rope about 6 inches long. I love the old Italian trick of lightly oiling my surface which helps the dough stretch easier.
- The dough is very flexible, so stretch it as needed to form a single knot. Don’t worry about being super precise. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and lightly brush with olive oil.
- Cover loosely with plastic and let the rolls rise for an hour in a warm spot. The plastic keeps the rolls from drying out, so make sure you use it. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400F.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden.
- While the knots are baking, melt the butter, garlic, and salt in a small saucepan and simmer briefly to combine. Turn off the heat and add the parsley.
- Brush knots liberally with garlic butter immediately after they come out of the oven, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a little coarse salt, if using.
- Go ahead and dig in, you deserve it!
