Step-by-step instruction without your screen going to sleep
- 1-pound store-bought pizza dough, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
- 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- All-purpose flour for rolling out dough
- Kosher salt
Utensils
- Medium Bowl
-
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
-
Step 2
Heat the oil and butter in Ninja 10” fry pan over medium heat. Add red pepper flakes and garlic and cook–stirring constantly–until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the parsley and chives and cook for another 30 seconds.
-
Step 3
Transfer the mixture into a large heatproof bowl and stir in ½ cup of Parmesan cheese. Do not wipe the pan clean.
-
Step 4
On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into two even pieces. Working with one half at a time, roll or stretch into a rectangle. With a knife or pizza cutter, cut crosswise into 16 strips. Repeat with other half of dough.
-
Step 5
Tie each of the 32 strips into a knot. Transfer the knots into the bowl with the parmesan/garlic mixture. Toss to generously coat each of the knots with the mixture.
-
Step 6
Transfer the coated knots into the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle any extra bits of the mixture you may have left over in the bowl.
-
Step 7
Cover the skillet with plastic wrap or a clean, damp kitchen towel and let the knots rise until slightly puffed, about 30 minutes.
-
Step 8
Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 25 minutes.
