BACON-WRAPPED PARMESAN GARLIC KNOTS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the warm water to a medium bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let sit for 5 minutes, or until mixture is frothy.

• Sprinkle a bit of flour over the dough then dump onto a clean surface. Tear the dough into 30 separate pieces, then roll into 6-inch (15-cm) long strips.

• Bake for 20 minutes, or until bread is golden brown and the bacon is crispy.
