Ingredients
Scale

- ½ teaspoon pepper
- marinara sauce, garlic sauce, or ranch dressing, (for dipping (optional))
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the refrigerated pizza dough package directions.
- Unroll the pizza dough onto a clean work surface and cut it into evenly sized strips.
- Tie each strip into a loose knot and arrange the knots on a baking sheet.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Add the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.

- Bake according to the pizza dough package directions until the knots are cooked through and lightly golden.
