How to Make Garlic Knots

Roll Out Crescent Dough

Pop a crescent roll dough canister open and carefully unravel the dough into a long rectangular shape, being careful not to tear the perforated markings. They are cut across the diagonal, but use your fingers to press the perforated markings closed. Divide the dough into four smaller rectangles, then take a knife and cut the dough into eight strips.
