  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Coconut oil is a great dairy-free alternative if needed.
For the Icing
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Opt for a sugar substitute for a lower-calorie option.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
  3. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar with ground cinnamon, mixing well to create a fragrant cinnamon-sugar blend.
  4. Melt some unsalted butter and evenly brush it over the surface of the rolled-out dough.
  5. Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered dough.
  6. Slice the dough into 1-inch wide strips, twist each strip, and form it into a knot shape.
  7. Bake the knots for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving warm.
