Ingredients

1 lb. store-bought fresh or frozen pizza dough
½ cup unsalted butter
4 large cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano optional
3 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves chopped
flaky sea salt for topping
finely grated Parmesan for garnish
Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

If frozen, follow the directions for your pizza dough.
Remove from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; Set aside.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll the dough into a 12-inch square. Cut the dough in half the cut each half crosswise into twelve (1-inch) thick strips for a total of 24 pieces.
Tie each strip into a knot and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm location for 60 to 90 minutes or until puffy.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Bake the knots until deep golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
While the knots are baking melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring frequently until the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Pour the hot butter into a bowl. Stir in the oregano and parsley, cover and keep warm.
Carefully place a few baked knots in the butter mixture tossing to coat. Transfer to a plate and repeat until all knots are coated. Sprinkle with additional parsley, sea salt and grated Parmesan if using.
Serve with hot marinara sauce for dipping
