1package refrigerated bread stick doughI use Pillsbury
3piecesof Mozzarella string cheesecut into quarters
5Tablespoonssalted buttermelted
1teaspoongarlic powder
1teaspoonItalian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line sheet pans with a silpat or parchment paper.
Using a rolling pin, take each piece of bread stick dough and roll it a bit to flatten.
Place one of the string cheese quarters into a middle and then fold the short edges of dough up and over it to cover.
Now cross the long sides of dough over each other so that each side is now on the opposite side from where it started.
Flip the entire garlic knot over so that the crossed sides are underneath the center where the cheese is.
Gently stretch those sides up to tie a knot (tucking one underneath the other and then very gently pulling both sides to tighten) and tuck the ends under the garlic knot.
Make sure none of the cheese is exposed and carefully press it between your hands to seal.
Place the garlic knots on the lines pans with a couple inches between them.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder and Italian seasoning until well combined.
Lightly brush half of the butter mixture onto the garlic knots.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden.
Right after they come out of the oven, brush the remaining butter mixture onto each garlic knot and serve immediately.
