Description
Delicious garlic knots made with pizza dough, olive oil, and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 18 ounces Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 cloves Garlic (minced fresh)
- 3–4 tablespoons Pecorino Romano cheese (finely grated)
- 1/4 cup Fresh parsley (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon Crushed hot red pepper flakes
- to taste Kosher salt
- 1 sheet Parchment paper (for the baking sheet)
- as needed Flour (for dusting your surface)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). You’re gonna need this ready for that final golden crisp.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide and 8-10 inches long. Tie each strip into a knot and place them spaced out on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a small saucepan, melt the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté till fragrant, about 1-2 mins.
- Take the pan off heat and stir in the Pecorino Romano cheese, parsley, red pepper flakes, and kosher salt. Brush the garlic mixture all over the knots thickly.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 mins or until golden brown on top.
Notes
- These garlic knots can be served fresh out of the oven as an appetizer or side dish.
- They are best enjoyed warm but can also be reheated.
