Andolini's Garlic Knots & 3-P Pizza

Andolini's is sharing how to make their tasty garlic knots and 3-P Pizza.

Garlic Knots Ingredients and instructions:

To make Garlic Knots, you’ll need pizza dough, a heart-shaped pizza cutter, pecorino Romano cheese, dried oregano, and olive oil infused with garlic. 

After cutting out the dough hearts, deep-fry them in 375 degree oil until they are puffy and golden brown.

Serve them in a shallow bowl that contains the olive oil and garlic.

Don’t be shy about the olive oil, either.

Sprinkle liberally with pecorino Romano cheese and oregano, and serve hot. 

3-P Pizza Instructions and ingredients:

To make Andolini's 3-P Pizza at home you’ll need:

1 14oz. dough 

Pizza sauce - enough to cover your dough thinly 

12 oz. to 14 oz. of shredded or diced mozzarella 

12 slices of thinly sliced pastrami

10 large or 20 small slices of pepperoni

3 oz. of shredded Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon of pecorino Romano cheese

Preheat your oven to 500 degrees and preheat a pizza stone in your oven, if you have one. Ideally, give the stone and oven 30 minutes to come fully to temperature before baking the pie. 

In the meantime, push out your dough to form a 14” pizza crust. If desired, shape into a heart by pinching and pulling dough into desired shape. Place on a lightly oiled pan for easy transfer to the stone when it’s time to bake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread a thin layer of sauce over the dough, leaving the outer 1" clear. Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over the entire pizza. Place the pastrami slices on the pizza, then the pepperoni slices, and finally the shredded parmesan. Transfer pizza to hot stone. Bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly (about 10 to 12 minutes in most cases). Remove pizza from oven, and top with a sprinkling of pecorino Romano cheese. 

Slice and serve!
