Garlic pizza knots

Ingredients

• 2 pizza dough balls
• 100g (3.5 oz) butter
• 1 head of garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp chilli flakes
• a small handful of basil, finely chopped
• flaky salt, to taste
• olive oil

Directions

1. Cut each pizza dough ball into 5 strips, roll the strips out and cut into pieces around 10cm (about 4 inches) long, then tie into a knot. Place the knots onto a well-oiled tray, cover, and leave to prove for 1.5-2 hours, or until they have doubled in size.
2. Once doubled in size, brush with olive oil and bake in a 190°C (375°F) oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
3. While they are baking, in a pot add the butter, chopped garlic, salt, and chilli flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat before removing from the heat and adding the basil.
4. Once the knots come out of the oven, add them to a bowl and pour over the butter mixture. Toss well and serve while still warm.
