Baked Pizza Dip With Garlic Knots Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Make the dip: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ½ cup (55 g) mozzarella, Parmesan, and lemon juice. Mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Stir in the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and oregano.
• Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a 9-inch (22 cm) pie dish and spread evenly. Top with the tomato sauce, then the remaining 2 cups (100 G) of mozzarella cheese. Finish with the pepperoni.
• Bake the dip for 18-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
• While the dip bakes, make the garlic knots: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Unroll the pizza dough on a flat surface. Cut in half lengthwise, then crosswise 12 times so you have 24 small strips. Cover with a damp kitchen towel to keep from rising.
• In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, salt, garlic powder, minced garlic, Parmesan, and parsley.
• Tie each dough strip into a knot, then place on the prepared baking sheets. Brush generously with the garlic butter.
• Bake the garlic knots for 10-12 minutes, until puffed and golden.
• Serve the garlic knots warm with the pepperoni dip.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Divide pizza dough into 12-14 equal sized balls. With floured hands, roll the dough balls into logs and tie into individual knots, tucking the excess underneath. 2. Coat a 10" oven-safe skillet with olive oil. Place the knots in a ring around the skillet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes, allowing dough to reach room temperature. 4. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta, basil, 1/2 of the garlic, and red pepper flakes. 5. Melt the butter and add the parsley and remaining garlic. Stir well. 6. Uncover the knots and scoop the dip into the center of the skillet. Brush the knots with the butter/garlic mixture (reserving some for after baking), and top the dip with an additional sprinkle of cheese (optional). 7. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Broil for two additional minutes or until knots and cheese get lightly browned - watching closely so as not to burn it. Remove from oven and brush lightly with the reserved garlic butter. Let cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Spread cream cheese on the bottom of the pie pan. Pour pizza sauce over the cream cheese, and spread it so that there is an even layer of sauce. Sprinkle with pepperoni, onion, and olives. Top with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower positions in the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• For the dip: Heat a 12-inch shallow braiser or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Add the 2 tablespoons oil, followed by the ground turkey. Cook, breaking up into small pieces, until golden brown and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Liberally season with salt and black pepper.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, chopped oregano and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute then reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the mascarpone and Parmesan, then stir until melted and mixed through, about 1 minute. Lastly, add the crushed tomatoes and more black pepper. Taste for seasoning and add more salt, if needed.
• Simmer the sauce over medium-low heat (so the bottom doesn't burn), stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. If it starts to splatter, cover with a lid half on and half off. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, make the garlic knots: Melt the butter in the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and add 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Unroll 1 tube of pizza dough onto a work surface and press out to a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Cut crosswise into 9 equal strips with a pizza cutter or knife. Loop each strip under itself to form a knot, tucking the excess underneath, and place on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the second tube of dough and prepared baking sheet.
• Brush the knots with some of the garlic butter; reserve the rest for later. Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate the baking sheets and swap their positions. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 5 more minutes.
• Remove from the oven and preheat the broiler. Brush the knots with more garlic butter, then sprinkle with the Parmesan and parsley.
• By this time, the sauce should be ready. Top with the mozzarella and lightly drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Broil until bubbly and the top is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and top with the burrata, parsley leaves and oregano leaves. Drizzle with more oil and sprinkle with black pepper. Serve the dip immediately with the garlic knots.

Steps:

• Place cream cheese in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Combine the pizza sauce, pepperoni and olives; pour over cream cheese. Top with mozzarella cheese., Cover and cook on low for 1-2 hours or until cheese is melted. Stir; serve warm with bagel chips or garlic toast.
