TIP: Adding fresh garlic gives these knots their defining garlicky quality, but it’s important to add it halfway through baking so the garlic doesn’t get too dark and turn bitter.

Step 1
Line the Cook & Crisp Basket with a nonstick silicone baking mat (or parchment paper), and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Divide pizza dough into 10 equal pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, roll each piece into an 8-inch rope. Using 1 teaspoon olive oil, brush ropes with oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder mixture. Tie each dough into a knot, with the ends extending less than 1-inch on each side.
Step 3
Arrange knots in prepared basket with 7 in a circle around the outside and 3 in the center. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon oil. Place the basket in the pot.
Step 4
Close the lid, then move the slider to AIR FRY/STOVETOP. Select PROOF, set temperature to 95°F, and set time to 20 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin the rise.
Step 5
When proofing is complete, remove the basket. Add 1/2 cup water to the pot, then place the basket back in the pot.
Step 6
Close the lid and move slider to STEAMCRISP. Select STEAM & CRISP, set temperature to 335°F, and set time to 15 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (PrE will display for approx. 5 minutes as the unit steams, then the timer will start counting down).
Step 7
While the knots bake, prepare the garlic butter. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, remaining 2 teaspoons oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, then brush the prepared mixture on knots halfway through baking.
Step 8
When cooking is complete, remove basket from pot and cool slightly before serving. Use tongs to remove knots from basket.
