- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
🍽️ Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
- Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Dough
- Open the crescent roll can and unroll the dough.
- Cut each triangle in half so you get 16 smaller triangles.
3. Add the Cheese
- Place 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella at the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll the dough tightly from the wide end to the point to seal in the cheese.
4. Tie into Knots
- Take the rolled dough and gently tie it into a knot (make a loop, then pull one end through the loop).
- Tuck in any loose edges.
5. Make the Garlic Butter
- Melt the butter in a bowl.
- Stir in the garlic, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix well.
6. Brush the Knots
- Place the knots on your baking sheet.
- Use a brush or spoon to cover each knot with the garlic butter.
7. Bake
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- The cheese inside should be melty and gooey.
8. Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle with dried parsley (optional) for color and extra flavor.
- Serve warm! You can dip them in marinara sauce, ranch, or any sauce you like.
💡 Extra Tips
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the knots and store them in the fridge (uncooked) for up to 2 hours before baking.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
- Cheese Swap: Try cheddar, provolone, or a cheese mix instead of mozzarella.
- Want it spicy? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter.
