Ingredients

1 package (1.5 lbs) pizza dough (either store-bought or homemade)

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

Sea salt, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

If using store-bought pizza dough, remove it from the packaging and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 1/2-inch thick.

With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into strips that are about 1 inch wide and 5 inches long. Take each strip and gently tie it into a knot, tucking the ends underneath securely. Lay each knot on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.

Using a pastry brush, generously coat each knot with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring they are fully covered for a rich flavor.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the knots for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.

Once baked, remove the knots from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley. This adds a vibrant color and enhances the overall flavor.

Serve the Garlic Butter Bliss Knots warm, allowing everyone to enjoy the delicious aroma and irresistible taste!
