Ingredients
Yield:12 servings
- 1pound prepared pizza dough, thawed if frozen
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 4tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2tablespoons minced garlic
- 1tablespoon finely chopped parsley
- Kosher salt
- Parmesan, for finishing (optional)
- Warmed marinara sauce, for dipping
Preparation
- Step 1
Divide dough into 2 equal pieces and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet a few inches apart. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until softened and pliable, about 1 hour.
- Step 2
Working with one piece at a time, use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll dough into a 6-inch square on a lightly floured surface. Cut into six 1-inch strips. Roll one strip to form a rope about 8 inches long, then tie into a single knot. Transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strips and second piece of dough, arranging the knots a few inches apart on the baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand until puffed and doubled in size, about 2 hours.
- Step 3
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake knots until golden on bottom, about 15 minutes.
- Step 4
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cook butter and oil over low heat until butter melts. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and very fragrant, about 5 minutes. Scrape butter mixture into a large bowl, then stir in parsley and season with salt.
- Step 5
In batches, toss the warm knots in the garlic butter until well coated. Sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired, and serve with marinara sauce.
Tip
- To reheat leftovers, simply warm at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Made this but didn't want to wait a full 3 hours; set the pan in a very warm location (on top of my ancient, leaky oven at 400 deg F) for about 45 minutes and called it good. Added a sprig of fresh rosemary to the butter/garlic mixture which was a nice touch. Could also add fresh basil. Overall, great recipe and fun to make the knots!

Bought a tube of pizza dough (all I could find at my grocery). Followed the directions on the tube, did not wait any time for the dough to rise. Would make again! But I would cook at 350 for 30 min instead of 425 for 20 min. The center was a touch underdone.

Made as-is, I thought the garlic-butter flavor didn't penetrate through the knot and were messy to eat. The next time I made this, I stretched the pizza dough into a large rectangle and spread cooled, soft garlic butter on top. Then I rolled them up cinnamon roll style. Much more garlic flavor throughout and easier to eat to boot.

Our dough recipe is pretty high hydration compared with what's at the store, so we'll probably bake at 425-450 next time, and perhaps brush with an egg wash for additional browning. The garlic butter was pretty spot on.
Stephanie
Used local bakery pizza dough but didn’t have patience for anything but a one-hour rise. Baked as directed and came out perfectly crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Amazing!

You should add garlic powder and excess garlic to make more garlicy
Elizabeth
Yummy recipe to use up extra dough. I made them mini by cutting the strips in half and baked them at 350 for about 26 minutes turning the sheet pan halfway through. I used many more seasonings- extra garlic, Italian blend, thyme, etc as I felt they needed more flavor. Flaky salt at the end also helps.

Definitely didn’t need 2 hours for the second wise. 30 minutes in a warm spot was fine.

Delicious recipe! Definitely didn’t need 2 hours for the second rise—30 mins in a warm spot was plenty.
