New York-Style Garlic Knots Recipe
Here's a delicious recipe for New York-style garlic knots:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt, to taste

Instructions:
1. Preheat your outdoor pizza oven to 475°F (245°C).
2. On a lightly floured surface, divide the pizza dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 6 inches long.

6. Season the knots with salt to taste, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, if desired.

8. Once cooked, remove the garlic knots from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
