Garlic Knot Buns

Ingredients:

• 220 g chilled pizza dough
• 4 tbsp (60 g) butter
• 2 large cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 2 tsp finely chopped parsley
• Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 260°C.
   
   Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Using your hands, form each piece into a 15 cm (6 in) rope, then tie each into a knot. Place the ropes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 7-8 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is light golden, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the parsley.
3. Generously brush the knots with garlic oil and sprinkle with a little grated Parmesan. Pour the remaining oil into a small bowl.
