Wood-Fired Garlic Knots Recipe

1 teaspoon active dry yeast	1 cup warm water (105-110°F)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour	1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar	3 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves of garlic, chopped fine	1/4 olive oil
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese	Salt and black pepper, to taste

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it begins to foam.
Add in the flour, salt, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough into a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your wood-fired oven to 450°F.
While the oven is heating up, mix the chopped garlic with the olive oil, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Cut the dough into 12-16 pieces and toss them in the garlic olive oil mixture.
Place them in a cast iron skillet.
Bake for 5-6 minutes, or until the knots are golden brown.
Serve hot and enjoy your wood-fired garlic knots!

Short Cut: You can use your left-over pizza dough instead of making fresh batch of dough.
