Silvana’s gluten-free Perfect Pizza Crust dough (page 122) or your favorite store-bought gluten-free pizza dough

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Your favorite homemade or store-bought pizza sauce, for dipping

1. Prepare the pizza dough and let rise.

2. In a small saucepan over low heat, cook the butter and garlic until the butter is melted and the garlic is tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Cover and remove from the heat; keep warm.

3. Preheat the oven to 375º and place a pizza stone, if using, on a rack in the lower third of the oven. Remove the risen dough from the bowl and place on a lightly floured surface. Depending on how small or large you like your garlic knots, take a portion of the dough and gently roll into a “rope” shape. Tie each strip loosely into a knot and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet; sprinkle with salt. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 30 minutes.

4. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Brush with the warm garlic butter and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with pizza sauce.
