Pumpkin Spice Knots

Ingredients

Pumpkin Pie Spice

• 2 tablespoons Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoon ground Nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons ground Ginger
• 1-1/2 teaspoon Allspice

FOR MAKING THE KNOTS

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 1 stick Unsalted Butter, softened
• 1 stick Salted Butter, softened
• 1 recipe Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
• Kosher Salt

Directions

1. While dough is rising on the counter, preheat oven to 375 degree and make the pumpkin pie spice.
2. In a medium bowl, combine 1-1/2 tablespoons of the pumpkin pie and 1/2 cup sugar. Add in both sticks of softened butter and blend until thoroughly combined. Store the extra pumpkin spice for another use.
3. Punch down risen dough. On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out a large rectangle. Spread half of the pumpkin spice butter on half of the dough in a thin even layer. Fold the other half over top of the butter side. Use a pizza cutter and divide the dough in half. Cut each half into 8 or 9 strips.
4. Tie each strip into a knot, tucking the ends behind the knot and place on a parchment or silicon lined sheet pan. Repeat with remaining strips.
5. Bake knots in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until light golden brown in color. Mean while melt the remaining spiced butter in a small saucepan over low heat until melted.
6. Generously brush freshly baked knots with melted butter using a pastry brush. Serve warm and enjoy!
