Garlic Bread Dots

Stir together in bowl and set aside to foam.
* 3 1/2 cups flour of your choice. Add more flour as needed.
* 2 tablespoon sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix together the flour mixture with yeast mixture.
Knead 10 minutes. Set aside and cover with slightly moist cloth. Let rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour.
Roll out in a rectangular shape. Using a plastic pizza cutter, cut into
2 x 2 inch squares or larger (I’m not that picky about the size) and pinch into ball shapes.

*1 1/2 tablespoons dried Parsley Flakes
*1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
*1/8-1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder, to taste
*1 teaspoon bottled Minced Garlic, (Pampa)
Combine the above ingredients and Roll dough balls into garlic butter.
Place dipped balls in a pile onto Silpat covered1/2 baking sheet.
Bake garlic bread dots/monkey bread in the oven at 350*F. for 20-25 minutes.
Dipping Sauce
*Extra Light Olive Oil
*Soy Sauce
*Fresh toasted minced Garlic bits, optional
To toast Garlic:
In a small frying pan on medium heat add a small (about 2 teaspoons) amount of Extra Light Olive Oil add minced fresh garlic and toast just until it starts to turn brown, being careful not to burn garlic.
Combine equal parts of Extra Light Olive Oil, Soy Sauce and garlic if desired. Serve in small bowl next to garlic balls dip and enjoy!
Enjoy!
