PEPPERONI PIZZA DIP WITH GARLIC KNOTS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Make the dip: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ½ cup (55 g) mozzarella, Parmesan, and lemon juice. Mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Stir in the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and oregano.
• Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a 9-inch (22 cm) pie dish and spread evenly. Top with the tomato sauce, then the remaining 2 cups (100 G) of mozzarella cheese. Finish with the pepperoni.
• Bake the dip for 18-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
• While the dip bakes, make the garlic knots: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Unroll the pizza dough on a flat surface. Cut in half lengthwise, then crosswise 12 times so you have 24 small strips. Cover with a damp kitchen towel to keep from rising.
• In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, salt, garlic powder, minced garlic, Parmesan, and parsley.
• Tie each dough strip into a knot, then place on the prepared baking sheets. Brush generously with the garlic butter.
• Bake the garlic knots for 10-12 minutes, until puffed and golden.
• Serve the garlic knots warm with the pepperoni dip.
• Enjoy!
