Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Cut each biscuit into thirds. Roll each piece into a 4-in. rope and tie into a knot; tuck ends under. Place 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 8-10 minutes., In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; add the warm knots and gently toss to coat.

Steps:

• Prepare Basic Pizza Dough as recipe instructs below and set aside to rise.
• Combine butter and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Cover, remove from the heat and set aside. Keep warm.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease 2 large baking sheets. Set aside.
• Remove risen dough from the bowl and place on a lightly floured surface. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough out into a large rectangle, about 16 by 12 inches. Brush the dough lightly with the olive oil. Cut the dough in half lengthwise and then cut crosswise into strips about 1 1/4 inches wide. Tie each strip loosely into a knot, stretching gently if necessary, and place on prepared baking sheets about 2-inches apart. Sprinkle the tops of the knots with salt. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 30 minutes.
• Bake until golden brown and risen, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and toss gently with the warm garlic butter, Pecorino Romano cheese, and parsley. Add salt to taste if necessary. Serve immediately.
• In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, honey, and 1 tablespoon oil, stirring to combine. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until the dough is smooth but still slightly sticky. You may not need all of the flour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Oil a large mixing bowl with remaining olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place, free from drafts until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Divide the dough into 8 even pieces. Use your hands to roll each piece into a 6-inch-long tube, then tie each into a knot. Arrange the knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown all over, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes and a rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is pale golden, about 3 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the parsley.
• Brush the garlic knots generously with the garlic butter and sprinkle with a little grated Parmesan. Transfer the remaining butter to a small bowl.

Steps:

• Divide dough into 2 equal pieces and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet a few inches apart. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until softened and pliable, about 1 hour.
• Working with one piece at a time, use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll dough into a 6-inch square on a lightly floured surface. Cut into six 1-inch strips. Roll one strip to form a rope about 8 inches long, then tie into a single knot. Transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strips and second piece of dough, arranging the knots a few inches apart on the baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand until puffed and doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake knots until golden on bottom, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cook butter and oil over low heat until butter melts. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and very fragrant, about 5 minutes. Scrape butter mixture into a large bowl, then stir in parsley and season with salt.
• In batches, toss the warm knots in the garlic butter until well coated. Sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired, and serve with marinara sauce.

Steps:

• Set pizza dough out on the counter and bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
• Roll dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. With the shorter side of the rectangle facing you, use a pizza cutter or knife to cut twelve 1 1/2 inch wide strips parallel to you. Then cut right up the middle to cut those strips in half.
• Twist each strip and tie into a loose knot. Place knots on the prepared cookie sheet.
• Melt butter in a small pan over low heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes, being careful not to burn. Remove from the stove and stir in parsley. Brush on top of all garlic knots.
• Cook in the preheated oven until knots are light brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with remaining butter mixture, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
