Ingredients:  
◾Nonstick cooking spray for greasing
◾1 pound homemade or store-bought pizza dough cut into 1-inch pieces (or see the recipe below to make your own pizza dough
◾2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
◾4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
◾4 garlic cloves
◾kosher salt and pepper
◾Finely chopped Italian Parsley flaky sea salt and finely grated parmesan cheese (optional), for garnish

BASIC PIZZA DOUGH:

◾3/4 cup lukewarm water between 98° and 105°F
◾1 teaspoon active dry yeast
◾2 cups all-purpose flour plus more as needed
◾1 ½ teaspoons salt
◾2 Tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the lukewarm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let sit until the yeast has dissolved and the mixture looks creamy or foamy, about 5 minutes.

2. Using a spatula, gently mix the flour and salt into the water until a shaggy dough forms.

3. Fitted with the dough hook attachment and at medium-low speed, knead the dough until it forms a smooth, slightly tacky ball that springs slowly back when you press it, about 5 minutes.

4. In a separate medium bowl (or you can remove the dough and use the stand mixer bowl), add the olive oil. Transfer the dough to the oiled bowl. If the dough is sticking to your hands or the stand mixer bowl, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of flour. Wrap the oiled bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1½ hours. Alternatively, you can refrigerate it for up to 3 days.

Directions:
Directions:
1. Grease a medium cast-iron skillet (8- or 9-inches). In a large bowl, gently toss the dough pieces with the olive oil. Arrange the dough in the skillet in a single layer. Let sit in a warm place until the dough is beginning to puff slightly, 30 to 40 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 375°. Bake the bread until the edges are golden brown and firm, 25 to 30 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. Remove from the heat. Finely grate the garlic into the butter, then return to the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly toasted, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Brush the monkey bread liberally with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with parsley, flaky sea salt, ground pepper and finely grated parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot.
