Use your fingers to pat the dough into an 8x8-inch square.

Use a pizza cutter or a knife to cut the dough into eight strips.

Tie each strip into a knot by crossing one end over the other and threading it through.

Tuck the ends under the knot to create a neat, round shape.

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside while you make the butter.

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, salt, garlic, and parsley.

Generously brush the knots with the remaining garlic butter and serve with warmtomato sauce.

Simple Tip!

If you dont have fresh garlic for the butter, use 2 teaspoons of garlic powder instead.
