Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into strips about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
  2. Shape the Knots: Tie each strip into a loose knot, pinching the ends to secure. Arrange on a parchment-lined tray.
  3. Make Garlic Butter: Melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) for optimal cooking.
  5. Brush Knots: Coat each knot with garlic butter mixture. Place in air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  6. Cook: Air fry for 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning.
  7. Finish: Brush with remaining garlic butter after cooking. Optionally sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for serving.
