Prepare the Dough:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, unroll the refrigerated pizza dough and use a rolling pin to gently stretch it into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick.

Shape the Garlic Knots:

3. Cut the Dough: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips about 1-inch wide.
4. Form the Hearts: Take each dough strip and tie it into a knot, then gently shape the knot into a heart by curling the edges inward. Pinch the ends of the dough to secure the shape. Repeat for all the dough strips.

Make the Garlic Butter:

5. Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.
6. Coat the Knots: Using a brush, generously coat each heart-shaped garlic knot with the garlic butter mixture, making sure to cover them evenly.

Bake the Knots:

7. Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the shaped garlic knots on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each knot for even baking.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the garlic knots are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
9. Garnish: After baking, brush the garlic knots with any remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.
