Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

If using store-bought pizza dough, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch long rope and tie into a knot. Arrange knots on the prepared baking sheet.

Using a pastry brush, generously coat each knot with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring complete coverage.

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over all knots.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the knots are golden brown and puffed.

Upon removing from the oven, brush knots with any remaining garlic butter for enhanced flavor.

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Offer warm marinara sauce on the side for dipping if desired.

These garlic knots are best served warm directly from the oven.

Leftover knots can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
