Okay so this time I decided to give the Food Network Chefs Cooking Challenge a go! This is hosted by
http://iblamemom.blogspot.com/ so go over to check out some other great recipes! This week's chef is
Alexandra Guarnaschelli. I admit that before this I had no idea who she was, she is not on any of the shows I watch lol. But I perused her list of recipes on foodtv.com and decided to give it a go.
I tried her recipe for Garlic Knots:

Kidlet got a Garlic Knot, soy ham and cheese chunks on skewers, checkered apple, orange, grapes, and carrots. He said the Knot was delicious and asked for another one for his snack!
Garlic Knots
Recipe by Alex Guarnaschelli
Ingredients
- Leftover pizza
dough
- 1 whole garlic clove, grated
- Olive oil
- Sea salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place about 1/2 cup of olive oil into a bowl. Grate the garlic right over the oil.
Break off pieces of leftover pizza dough and roll into little logs. Next, fold into a knot. Place the knots into the olive oil mixture and place onto the baking sheet. Season with salt, to taste, and place in the oven. Bake until the garlic knots are golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
So, I realize how ridiculously easy this was. I did add a little grated cheese to the top as well, they were delicious! I did not make her pizza dough however as I already had some in my fridge so I used that up. Overall it was fun and delicious!
