Garlic Knots

Dough: 
3/4 cup lukewarm water
2 cups bread flour 
1 tsp. sea salt 
1 tbsp. sugar 
1 tsp. breadmachine yeast 
Topping: 
1/3 cup olive oil 
2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese - grated
2 cloves garlic -- minced 
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper 

For dough: Set machine for dough cycle. Add ingredients to pan according to manufacturer directions. 
Press start. When done, remove dough and place in a greased bowl. Let rise for 1/2 hour. 
Mix topping ingredients together in a small bowl. Let stand 10 minutes to infuse flavors. 
After the second rising, punch dough down and roll it out. Cut into 8 strips; twist each strip to form knots. Place on greased baking sheet. Cover them with topping. Cover the baking sheet with a towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes. 
Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake for 6 minutes. Then brush more topping on and finish baking - about another 6-9 minutes, until golden brown and soft.
