Preparation
Step 1
To make the pesto, combine basil, parsley, 3 tablespoons Parmesan, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor; season with salt and pepper, to taste. With the motor running, add olive oil in a slow stream until emulsified; set aside.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
Step 3
Cut dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch rope, about 1/2-inch thick, and tie into a knot, tucking the ends.
Step 4
Place knots onto the prepared baking sheet and brush each knot with butter; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Place into oven and bake until golden brown, about 18-22 minutes.
Step 5
Serve immediately, brushed with pesto.

Chef's notes
Make sure the pizza dough is at room temperature for easier handling.
Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic in the pesto to suit your taste.
