Equipment

Ingredients

13.8 ounce can, Pizza Dough
8 ounces cream cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried basil
1 cup homemade or store-bought pizza sauce
½ cup unsalted butter , melted
2 teaspoons garlic salt
½ cup pepperoni slices

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F/204°C.
Break off pieces of the pizza dough to create garlic knots and place them around the edge of the inside of the cast iron pan. Leave a small amount of space between each round. Each piece should be about 1 ½ inches in diameter. Set aside.
Add the cream cheese, parmesan, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese in a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer with beaters attached to combine well.
Mix in the oregano and basil in the cream cheese mixture and blend again. Spread into the center of the cast iron pan until the mixture is touching the edges of the pizza dough balls.
Pour the pizza sauce on top of the cream cheese mixture and spread with a spoon.
Add the rest of the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza sauce, then top with pepperoni slices.
Mix the melted butter and garlic salt and brush the pizza dough balls with ½ of the garlic butter mixture. Save the other ½ for after baking.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the garlic knots and cheese have cooked through and browned nicely.
Remove from the oven. Brush remaining garlic butter on the pizza dough balls. Serve warm. Enjoy.
