Garlic Butter

4 cloves of garlic, smashed
¼ cup of parsley, finely chopped

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a nonstick baking sheet instead, and set it aside for later. Now, cut the mozzarella into small ¼ inch cubes, then place the dough on a lightly floured counter, and turn it over before sprinkling more flour on top and cutting it in half. Cut each dough half into 5 pieces evenly, then sprinkle more flour on the counter, and roll out each dough until nice and flat one at a time.

Step 2

Hand-pull the dough gently and use the rolling pin as well adding more flour if the dough is still sticky, then once the dough is 8 inches by 3 inches, spread about 3 tablespoons of mozzarella cubes along the center, and roll the dough over starting from the longer side to form a log. Pinch the seams close, then dust the roll with more flour, and gently tie it into a knot. Continue to fill the rest of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, then brush them with some melted butter, and sprinkle with asiago cheese sea salt.
