Muffin Tin Garlic Knots

Step 1

Spray muffin tin with nonstick spray; set aside.

Step 2

Divide the pizza dough into 12 equal pieces (~2 oz. each).

Step 3

Cut each piece of dough into 5 pieces. Using a circular motion, roll each piece of dough between countertop and palm of your hand until dough ball becomes tight. Place 5 balls of dough into each muffin cup. Brush tops of dough with olive oil.

Step 4

Cover pan and place in a warm location for 1 hour, or until dough has risen ~1” over top of pan. (Tip: For a warm location, I put the pan in my oven with just the oven light on.)

Step 5

Once dough has risen, bake at 350°F for 28-30 minutes, or until tops of garlic bread are lightly browned.

Step 6

While garlic bread is baking, melt the butter and stir in the Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning and kosher salt.

Step 7

Remove garlic bread from oven and brush with the garlic butter mixture. Serve hot.
