Ingredients

Scale

2 cans refrigerated pizza dough

1/2 cup melted butter

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (twist #1: adds extra cheesy flavor)

2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (twist #2: for freshness & color)

1 tsp Italian seasoning (twist #3: boosts that pizzeria vibe)

Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for heat

Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Roll out pizza dough and cut each can into 8 strips (16 total).

Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over strips, then tie each strip into a knot, tucking in the cheese.

Arrange knots on baking sheets, leaving space between.

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan.

Brush half of this mixture over the knots before baking.

Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden and bubbly.

Remove from oven and brush with the remaining butter mixture. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.

Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
