Ingredients

  • 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 needed

  • Medium Bowl

Instructions

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.
