Yield Makes 18 twists

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (2 oz), divided
1/4 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds pizza dough or use store-bought)
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Lightly oil 2 large (17- by 13-inch) baking sheets.
  • Stir together rosemary, thyme, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Stir together oil, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in another bowl.
  • Divide dough in half. Keeping half of dough covered with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth), gently roll out other half into a 15-by 10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. (Use your hands to pull corners. If dough is very elastic, cover with towel and let rest about 3 minutes.)
  • Sprinkle one half of dough (crosswise) with half of herb mixture, then fold dough in half crosswise and roll lightly to form a roughly 10- by 8-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 9 strips (less than 1 inch wide) with a pizza wheel or a sharp heavy knife. Keeping remaining strips covered with a kitchen towel, twist each strip from both ends and place on baking sheet, arranging twists 1 inch apart. Brush with 1 tablespoon garlic oil and let stand while forming remaining bread twists.
  • Roll out and form more bread twists with remaining dough and herb mixture, then arrange on other sheet. Brush with 1 tablespoon garlic oil and let stand 5 minutes.
  • Bake bread twists, switching position of sheets halfway through, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, stir together parsley and remaining 3/4 cup cheese in a shallow baking pan.
  • Immediately after baking, brush bread twists with remaining garlic oil, then roll in parsley and cheese until coated. Serve warm or at room temperature.

These are absolutely fabulous! We have them with pasta but they would go with anything. I got the "base" recipe from a breadmachine cookbook but altered it to suit our tastes. The spread is even good on toast! The preparation time includes the time in the bread machine.

Tips:

  • To make the garlic butter, use a combination of softened butter, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, and salt. You can also add in some fresh herbs, such as chives or basil, for extra flavor.
  • When rolling out the pizza dough, make sure to use a lightly floured surface to prevent the dough from sticking. You can also use a rolling pin with guides to help you achieve the desired thickness.
  • To shape the garlic twists, simply cut the dough into long strips, then twist them around until they resemble a spiral. You can also use a breadstick maker to quickly and easily create the twists.
  • Before baking the garlic twists, brush them with melted butter and sprinkle them with additional garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley. This will give them a golden brown color and a delicious flavor.
  • Serve the garlic twists warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or melted cheese.
