GARLIC KNOTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Divide the dough into 8 even pieces. Use your hands to roll each piece into a 6-inch-long tube, then tie each into a knot. Arrange the knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown all over, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes and a rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is pale golden, about 3 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the parsley.
• Brush the garlic knots generously with the garlic butter and sprinkle with a little grated Parmesan. Transfer the remaining butter to a small bowl.

NOT-KNOTS

Steps:

• Grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Pinch off balls of the dough about 1 inch in diameter and roll into round balls, then place the balls on the oiled baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, combine the garlic butter and Parmesan in a pan and stir together over medium-low heat until melted. Pour into a metal bowl large enough to toss the balls in.
• Heat a deep pan of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F and fry the balls, stirring them so they cook evenly, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the balls from the pan, then put them in the bowl with the Parmesan garlic butter and toss to coat them thoroughly. Serve on top of a salad or as a side dish.
• Sprinkle the yeast over 1 1/2 cups of warm (not lukewarm) water. Let stand for a few minutes.
• Combine the flour and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer on low speed and drizzle in the oil until combined with the flour. Next, pour in the yeast mixture and mix until just combined and the dough comes together in a sticky mass.
• Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil and form the dough into a ball. Toss to coat the dough in the oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set it aside for at least 1 or up to 2 hours at room temperature, or store in the fridge until you need it, up to 4 days ahead. Bring the refrigerated dough to room temperature before using.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, then add the garlic and salt. Cook for a couple of minutes to release the flavor, but don't let the garlic brown.

GARLIC KNOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place about 1/2 cup of olive oil into a bowl. Grate the garlic right over the oil.
• Break off pieces of leftover pizza dough and roll into little logs. Next, fold into a knot. Place the knots into the olive oil mixture and place onto the baking sheet. Season with salt, to taste, and place in the oven. Bake until the garlic knots are golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.

GARLIC BREAD PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Unroll the crescent sheet on a clean cutting board.
• Mix together the mozzarella, butter, Parmesan, pesto and garlic in small bowl or pitcher until mixed well. Reserve two tablespoons of the mixture and set aside. Spoon the remaining garlic-butter mixture over the crescent dough sheet, spreading to the edges. Starting with one of the long sides, roll the dough tightly, as if you were rolling cinnamon roll dough. Pinch closed and place seam-side down.
• Slice the dough into 12 even pieces and transfer them to the lined sheet pan, spacing them evenly. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the remaining garlic butter on top of each roll. Bake until golden, about 12 minutes.
• Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then serve.

GARLIC TIE-THE-KNOTS

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the flour, yeast, kosher salt and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and stir to combine. Add the warm water and oil and beat until the dough comes together, about 2 minutes. If the dough is too wet, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it is still soft and slightly sticky but you can turn it out. Knead on a lightly floured work surface if the dough is still shaggy. Lightly oil a large bowl. Transfer the dough to the oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• For the garlic butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and wait for it to start sizzling, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the parsley and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Divide each of those pieces into 6 pieces. Working 1 piece at a time, roll it out into a 6- to 7-inch rope, then tie the rope into a knot. Place the knot on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough.
• Brush the knots generously with the garlic butter and sprinkle lightly with the flaky sea salt. Bake until cooked through and golden all over, about 20 minutes.
