Garlic Knots

 
INGREDIENTS
1 package of store-bought pizza dough
6 tablespoons of salted butter
2-3 large cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
 
DIRECTIONS

1. Remove pizza dough from refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for 40 to 60 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Melt butter with garlic in the microwave or on a stove top and set it aside.
4. Uncover the dough, punch it down a few times, and transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into 8 equal sections and roll each section into a 6-inch long rope. Grab the end of each dough rope and tie into a knot, and tuck in the ends. Arrange the knots on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart from each other. Brush with garlic butter.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. After the knots are baked, immediately drizzle with basil oil and Parmesan cheese.
