Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a sharper flavor.
- Shred the cheese yourself for a more even distribution.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and prevent the cheese from melting too quickly.
- Roll the dough out thinly, about 1/4 inch thick. This will help the bread twists to be crispy.
- Brush the bread twists with melted butter before baking. This will help them to brown and give them a shiny glaze.
- Bake the bread twists until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the bread twists warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
