Prep: 15 min | Cook: 20 min | Total: 35 min

Servings: 12 servings

To make these delicious knots, I start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. For the dough, you will need:

• 1 package of refrigerated pizza dough
• 3 tablespoons of melted butter
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon of ranch seasoning
• 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
• Cooked, crumbled bacon (about ½ cup)

Once I have everything ready, I preheat my oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the knots will bake evenly and get a lovely golden color. Next, I take the pizza dough and roll it out on a clean surface. I like to divide the dough into small pieces, about 1-2 inches each. This size will help create perfect little knots.

After cutting the dough, I take each piece and roll it into a long strip, about 6 inches long. Then, I tie it into a knot and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I repeat this process until all the dough is shaped into knots. If you find the dough sticking, you can lightly flour your hands and the surface to make it easier to work with.

Now it’s time to make the garlic butter mixture. In a small bowl, I combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and ranch seasoning. This mixture will help coat the knots and add that buttery, garlicky flavor that we all love. Using a brush, I generously apply the garlic butter mixture onto each knot, making sure to coat them well.

Before placing them in the oven, I sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the knots. At this point, you can also sprinkle some of the crumbled bacon on top for an extra flavor boost. I like to reserve a little bacon for garnishing later, but you can use as much as you like.

After this delicious layering, I pop the knots into the preheated oven and bake them for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will drive you wild with anticipation!

Once the knots are out of the oven, I let them cool for a few minutes. Then, I like to drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the top and add the reserved crumbled bacon for added crunch and flavor. You can serve these cheesy ranch garlic knots warm, and I guarantee they will disappear quickly!

These Cheesy Ranch Garlic Knots with Bacon Topping are simple to make and oh-so-delicious. Enjoy your tasty creation, and share them with friends, or savor them all to yourself—no judgments here!
