PEPPERONI PIZZA DIP WITH GARLIC KNOTS RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

BAKED PIZZA DIP WITH GARLIC KNOTS

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.
