Easy and oh so good!
Just start with a basic pizza dough and roll it out and cut into ribbons about 6"-8" long. Tie into a knot and bake @ 375 till browned. Mince 4-5 cloves of garlic with some fresh chopped basil and add to a sauce pan with about 3 TBSP butter, heat till warm and spread over knots.
Would the flavor be the same if you brushed the garlic mixture over the strips before you tied them into a knot as well as on top of the knots?

I doubt it, you would end up with burnt, bitter garlic.
I agree Craig. Using the butter mixture before baking would ruin them in my opinion.
Its the fresh raw garlic, the butter, or oil, or both and most importantly coarse salt IMO. I don't like the idea of the basil either. Parsley instead!
When I was in Miami, there was a place called "Mario The Baker" in North Miami near N.Miami Sr. High school that was famous for their garlic knots.
I understand they now have a restaurant in your neck of the woods. Davie?
They baked the knots plain. Then with a basket, submerged them into the oil and garlic mixture. Served pipping hot.

Ok. I see what you are saying. You do have to be careful on how you expose garlic to heat.

Oh no! I forgot to add: After tying the dough into knots, cover and let rise another 20 minutes before baking.
