Ingredients
1 pound pizza dough
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Instructions
1. Divide dough into equal golf ball-sized pieces.
2. Roll each into a rope, tie into a knot, and tuck ends.
3. Let rise for 30–45 minutes under a towel.
4. Bake at 425°F for 12–15 minutes until golden.
5. Melt butter and stir in garlic and parsley.
6. Brush baked knots immediately with garlic butter.
7. Finish with a second coat of butter, Parmesan, and sea salt before serving.
Notes
Use store-bought dough for speed or homemade for extra love.
Reheat in oven to keep crisp edges — microwave makes them soft.
Freeze after baking; reheat straight from frozen in under 10 minutes.
