Puffy Greek Twists image

The original idea came from a Taste of Home recipe, Crisp Caraway Twists. Thought I would put a different spin on it and make it Greek. These are just addictive, can't eat just one.

These twists were a lot of work to make, and they didn't turn out very well. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I had a hard time getting the dough to rise. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
