Garlic Knots

Gather the ingredients. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Divide the prepared pizza dough into 4 pieces, then cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour.

Working one piece at a time and keeping the remaining pieces covered, roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a 6-x 4-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into four strips. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.

Tie each strip into a single knot, making sure there isn't more than a 1-inch overhang. Transfer each to the prepared baking sheets.

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley flakes, and salt.

Brush the knots with half of the butter mixture, lightly cover with plastic, and let rise in a warm spot until puffed, about 30 minutes. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 °F. Bake the garlic knots until golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes.

Remove the knots from the oven and brush with remaining butter mixture.

Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Enjoy!
