Cheesy Garlic Knots (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Dough
01 -
1 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
02 -
1 pound of pizza dough, any kind (store-bought or homemade)
→ Garlic Butter
03 -
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
04 -
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
05 -
1 teaspoon of salt
06 -
2 tablespoons of parsley, fresh and chopped up
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn on your oven and set it to 400°F (200°C). Lay a sheet of parchment paper on your baking tray.
02 -
Cut the dough into 12 portions. Press each into a small rectangular shape.
03 -
Put some shredded cheese in the middle of each piece. Fold and seal them up tightly so the cheese is inside, creating little knots.
04 -
Combine the melted butter with garlic, parsley, and salt in a small bowl.
05 -
Arrange the knots on your tray. Paint each one with the garlicky butter mix. Put them in the oven for about 12-15 minutes, until golden and gooey inside.
06 -
Take them out when done and brush on extra garlic butter if you'd like. Enjoy them warm, and dip in marinara sauce for more flavor.
# Notes:
01 -
Pinch the dough edges well so the cheese doesn't spill out while baking.
02 -
To make them more golden on top, brush on an egg wash before baking.
03 -
Let the knots cool for a few minutes before grabbing one so the cheese sets nicely.
