**Garlic Knots Recipe**

**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt, to taste
– Pepper, to taste
– Olive oil, for brushing

**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Divide the pizza dough into equal-sized pieces, about 10-12 portions. Roll each piece into a rope, about 10 inches long. Tie each rope into a knot, tucking the ends underneath. Place the knots on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each knot.

3. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic and melted butter. Brush each knot generously with the garlic-butter mixture, making sure to coat all sides.

4. Bake the knots in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

5. While the knots are baking, mix together the chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.

6. Once the knots are done, remove them from the oven and brush them with a little more of the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle the parsley-Parmesan mixture over the knots while they are still warm, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.

7. Serve the Garlic Knots warm, either on their own as a delightful snack or side dish, or alongside your favorite pasta or soup for a cozy and delicious meal.

These Garlic Knots are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, when the aroma of garlic and butter fills your kitchen and the knots are at their softest and most flavorful. They are a great option for parties, potlucks, or simply as a comforting treat for your family. Feel free to customize the recipe by adding additional herbs or spices to suit your taste preferences. So, next time you’re craving a comforting and flavorful side dish, give these Garlic Knots a try; they’re bound to become a new favorite in your culinary repertoire.
