Four Cheese Pepperoni Pizza Knots

 

So another month of dreadful heat to face and then we are well on the way to welcome autumn . I’m sitting here trying to think of good things about winter and the only thing I can come up with is food. Pleasant windy days? I guess so. Cold nights? Yup !!!
 
But then you still need to go out to enjoy the winter walks? Yeah, no. A winter walk in the evenings and on the beach side during the weekends. The most amazing way to break-free from the ho-hum days with great vigor. Splendid imagination... but its still a long way from now and instead of all this dreaming around, I think its time I come to today's recipe.
 
Something interesting here and again we are knocking at the gates of Italy. A twisty tale of the Pizzas. A rich combination of cheese and pepperoni. A luscious meal for the most elite guests. It is decadent, it is awesome, it is rich and sinfully scrumptious in every bite. With the cheese oozing out as you dig in and the pepperoni imparting its abundant flavors, enjoying these yummy pizza knots is as good as being transported to the seventh heaven. They are a joy to look out and evermore so delicious to eat.  
 
Now onto the recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

 2 balls pizza dough (see for the recipe here)
1/2 cup pizza sauce (see for the recipe here)
2 cups grated Italian four cheese blend ( I combined grated mozzarella, grated cheddar and grated parmesan only)
1/4 cup pepperoni slices
Italian seasoning or oregano
 

HOW TO MAKE:

 
1) Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Line baking sheet with silicone baking mat and set aside.
 
2) Roll pizza dough out into large rectangle, about 16x20 {but doesn't have to be perfect}.
 
3) Spread pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni onto half of the pizza dough, leaving a small edge border untouched. Fold the other half of dough overtop of the pepperoni and cheese and press around edges to seal.

4) Cut into 8 even strips. Twist each strip, then tie into a knot. Top with any grated cheese that fell out while tying and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
 
5) Bake 8-10 minutes or until browned and cheese is oozing. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
