If you're a fan of garlic knots, this recipe is basically the bite-sized version, covered in gooey cheese, garlic butter, and fresh herbs. Sage and thyme are used here to add seasonal flavor but feel free to add any herbs you prefer. The best part? They only take a little over half an hour to come together, meaning they're the perfect appetizer to bring to any party (even last-minute ones!), all holiday season long.

divided, plus more for serving

¼ cshredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella

1 Tbspfresh sage

1 Tbspfresh thyme

Instructions

Step 1

Let pizza dough sit until room temperature if needed, about 1 hour.

Step 2

Step 2 Preheat oven to 400°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.

Step 3

Step 3 In a small pot over low heat, melt butter. Add garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until starting to froth, 4 to 6 minutes. Immediately remove pot from heat and let cool.

Step 4

Step 4 On a lightly floured surface, stretch dough to a 9" square. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan and gently press cheese into dough with your hands. Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut dough into 9 (1"-wide) strips. Separate each strip to keep from sticking. Cut each strip crosswise into 1" pieces.

Step 5

Step 5 Arrange dough on prepared sheet in an even layer. Brush with about one-third of garlic butter. Sprinkle with mozzarella, sage, thyme, and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan.

Step 6

Step 6 Bake bread bites until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately brush with remaining garlic butter. Top with more Parmesan, sage, and thyme. Drizzle with hot honey, if using.
