Steps:
- 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.
- Coat a 10 inch (25 cm) 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 the dough to reach room temperature.
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta, fresh basil, 3 cloves of garlic (chopped), and red pepper flakes.
- Melt the butter and add the fresh parsley and remaining garlic. Stir well.
- 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).
- Bake in a preheated oven to 400˚F (200˚C) for 20 minutes. Broil on high for two additional minutes or until knots and cheese are lightly browned, watching closely so as not to burn it.
- Remove from oven and brush lightly with additional garlic butter.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Put a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F for 1 hour. Meanwhile, bring the pizza dough to room temperature. Sprinkle a 15-inch round pizza pan with cornmeal.
- Pulse the bacon in a mini food processor until very finely chopped. Mix the ground beef, chopped bacon, parmesan, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, parsley, garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl with your hands until combined. Form into 1 1/2-inch meatballs (about 12); arrange on a baking sheet and bake until firm and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Stretch the dough all the way to the edge of the pizza pan, pressing with your fingertips (lightly oil your hands if the dough is too sticky). Arrange the meatballs evenly around the edge of the dough. Sprinkle the middle with 3/4 cup mozzarella, then top with 1/2 cup sauce. Top the meatballs with the remaining 2 tablespoons sauce and 1/4 cup mozzarella.
- Put the pan on the hot stone and bake until the crust is slightly puffed and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Top with grated parmesan.
PIZZA MEATBALLS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a flat baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl add ground beef, onion powder, egg, panko crumbs, garlic, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, couple dashes of Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly. Shape into 1-inch balls. Push in to the mixture a cube of cheese. Reshape the meatball. Place on lined baking sheet. Do this until all of the meatballs have been formed. Bake in the oven until browned, about 15 to 20 minutes. If the cheese cube that was used is too big it will melt out of the meatball.
- In a slow cooker, on medium heat add the tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasonings (to taste) onion, and garlic. Keep hot while the meatballs cook. Add the meatballs once they are done cooking. Serve with toothpicks. The sauce can be heated on stove top.
WHITE PIZZA DIP
I first served this dip during a Super Bowl party, and boy, did it disappear fast. It's a great addition to a snack table because it can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until you're ready to pop it in the oven.-Molly Seidel, Edgewood, New Mexico

PIZZA MEATBALLS
A very easy recipe from "Taste of Home". Each meatball is stuffed with a cube of mozarella cheese. Kids love these! I usually brown them the day before I serve them and put on low in the crockpot for several hours with the pizza sauce.
