Description

After trying some amazing bread twists at a local restaurant, I decided to come home and recreate them. It took a few tries, but I finally did it. They are sooo yummy!

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Hot Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Instant Yeast
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 3-½ cups To 4 1/2 Cups Flour, Or More As Needed
  • _____
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
  • ¼ teaspoons Garlic Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Dill Weed
  • ⅛ teaspoons Italian Seasoning

Preparation

Combine water, sugar, salt, yeast, oil, and enough flour to make a soft dough. (You may need more than 3 1/2 cups.) Knead for 3-4 minutes. On a greased counter, break off pieces of dough and roll into thin ropes that are about 1 1/2 times the length of your skewers. Twist the rope around the skewer and place on a greased cookie sheet. Repeat till all dough is used. Let twists rise till doubled, about 30 minutes.

While they are baking, combine the glaze ingredients and let site while the bread twists bake so the flavors will blend. Bake twists at 375F for about 12-15 minutes or till golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with the butter glaze. Try not to drool.

Sorry to hear you had trouble. As with all yeast bread recipes, different humidity levels make a difference in how much flour you will need.
I wanted to put 3 1/2-4 1/2 cups flour in the ingredient list, but that isn’t an option here. :(
Just go with your instincts. I bet if you would have added flour till you thought the dough looked right, they would have turned out perfectly!

I was hoping to put my new Kitchenaid to good use and this recipe seemed perfect to go with the soup I was making, but I was disappointed by the dough. Mine was way too sticky, even after adding an extra 1/2, and then another 1/4 to 1/2 cups. I added some garlic powder and rosemary to the dough and it is pretty tasty, just too sticky to roll into ropes and wrap, so I’m just going to turn them into drop rolls.

This recipe was the perfect accompaniment to the broccoli cheddar soup i was making, i was so happy to find a bread twist recipe that didn’t take 2 hours. I added 2 small cloves of minced garlic to the butter and omitted the Italian seasonings. They Turned out delicious the dough was light and fluffy and was very easy to make! i will definitely be using it again!
