Pull-Apart Garlic Knots
Adding fresh garlic gives these knots their defining garlicky quality, but it’s important to add it halfway through baking so the garlic doesn’t get too dark and turn bitter.

Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup water, for steaming
KNOTS
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1 pound prepared pizza dough, room temperature
- All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
GARLIC BUTTER
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
Step 1
Line the Cook & Crisp Basket with a nonstick silicone baking mat (or parchment paper), and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Divide pizza dough into 10 equal pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, roll each piece into an 8-inch rope. Using 1 teaspoon olive oil, brush ropes with oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder mixture. Tie each dough into a knot, with the ends extending less than 1-inch on each side.
Step 3
Arrange knots in prepared basket with 7 in a circle around the outside and 3 in the center. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon oil. Place the basket in the pot.
Step 4
Close the lid, then move the slider to AIR FRY/STOVETOP. Select PROOF, set temperature to 95°F, and set time to 20 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin the rise.
Step 5
When proofing is complete, remove the basket. Add 1/2 cup water to the pot, then place the basket back in the pot.
Step 6
Close the lid and move slider to STEAMCRISP. Select STEAM & CRISP, set temperature to 335°F, and set time to 15 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (PrE will display for approx. 5 minutes as the unit steams, then the timer will start counting down).
Step 7
While the knots bake, prepare the garlic butter. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, remaining 2 teaspoons oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, then brush the prepared mixture on knots halfway through baking.
Step 8
When cooking is complete, remove basket from pot and cool slightly before serving. Use tongs to remove knots from basket.
