Cheesy Buttery Knots (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Garlic Butter
01 -
4 garlic cloves, chopped finely
02 -
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
03 -
1 teaspoon of salt
04 -
2 tablespoons parsley, freshly chopped
→ Dough
05 -
1 cup mozzarella, shredded
06 -
1 pound pizza dough (homemade or bought)
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Set your oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Cover a baking tray with parchment.
02 -
Cut the pizza dough into 12 pieces. Shape each into a rectangle.
03 -
Add some shredded mozzarella to the middle of each rectangle. Fold it up and pinch tightly to form a small knot.
04 -
Stir together the butter, salt, garlic, and parsley in a little bowl.
05 -
Put the knots onto the baking tray. Generously coat them with the garlic butter. Bake for 12-15 minutes till they go golden brown and the cheese melts inside.
06 -
Take the knots out of the oven. Optional: brush with more garlic butter. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Seal the dough edges well so the cheese doesn't ooze out.
02 -
For an extra shiny crust, brush with egg wash before baking.
03 -
Wait a couple minutes before eating to let the cheese settle a bit.
