garlic knots

Buttery allium rolls

Garlic knots are small rolls of pizza dough tied into knot shapes, baked, then brushed with garlic butter and often sprinkled with parsley and parmesan.

They're a staple of Italian-American pizzerias, served as appetizers or alongside pasta: We ordered garlic knots while we waited for our pizza.
