Cheese-Filled Garlic Knots
Cheese-Filled Garlic Knots are a wonderfully soft and flavorful twist on classic garlic bread. Soft, pillowy dough is paired with gooey cheese and a savory garlic butter topping for the perfect bite.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long. Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each strip.
- Fold each strip over the cheese and pinch the edges to seal. Tie each strip into a knot, ensuring the cheese is well enclosed. Place the knots on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over each knot. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the knots are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Allow the Cheese-Filled Garlic Knots to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a delicious side or snack!
