Ingredients
- Pizza Dough
- Fresh Garlic
- Fresh Parsley
- Fresh Basil
- Parmesan Cheese
- Unsalted Butter
- Garlic Powder (optional substitute for fresh garlic)
- Dried Herbs (optional substitute for fresh herbs)
- Pecorino Romano (optional substitute for Parmesan cheese)
- Nutritional Yeast (optional vegan substitute for Parmesan cheese)
- Plant-based Butter or Olive Oil (optional dairy-free substitute for butter)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- If you're using store-bought pizza dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about ½ inch thick. If you've made your dough from scratch, let it rest for about 15 minutes before rolling.
- Cut the rolled dough into strips, about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
- Take each strip and tie it into a knot. Tuck the ends underneath to create a neat shape. Place each knot on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil, stirring until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Generously brush the garlic herb butter mixture over each knot.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the knots are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once out of the oven, sprinkle the knots with a little extra grated Parmesan and some more fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
