WHITE PIZZA DIP RECIPE BY TASTY

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!
