Garlic Lover's Seasoning

Garlic... mmmm.... I truly love garlic, so you can understand what inspired me to create this fan favorite. With garlic being the headliner, it happily shares the spotlight with other completing flavors such as: Onion, basil, thyme and parsley. Always ground fresh and with a low amount of sea salt, Garlic Lovers will be your friend for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

INSTRUCTIONS

1 Prep the Knots: Divide pizza dough into equal-sized pieces, roll into ropes, and tie into knots.
2 Arrange in Skillet: Grease an oven-safe skillet with olive oil. Place knots in a ring around the skillet, leaving the center open. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
3 Make the Cheese Dip: In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, ricotta, basil, 3 cloves of garlic, and red pepper flakes until smooth and well combined.
4 Garlic Butter: In a separate bowl, melt butter and stir in parsley and the remaining 3 cloves of garlic. (Or substitute with @flavorgod Garlic Everything for added flavor!)
5 Assemble: Uncover the skillet, scoop the cheese mixture into the center of the skillet. Brush the garlic knots generously with the garlic butter and sprinkle with a little extra cheese if desired.
6 Bake & Broil: Bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes, then broil for an additional 2 minutes until golden and bubbly.
7 Serve: Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart the garlic knots and dipping them into the cheesy center!
