Description
Delicious garlic herb twists made from scratch, perfect for any meal!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2½ cups water (warm (95–105 degrees F))
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 tablespoon salt
- 5½–6 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon Italian herb blend
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, add warm water (between 95-105 degrees Fahrenheit), sugar, and yeast. Stir, and let sit for 5-10, or until frothy.
- Add the oil, salt, and about 3 cups of flour. Using the dough hook, mix on low for 1-2 minutes, or until the flour has all mixed in.
- Continue to add another 2 1/2-3 cups of flour, mixing on low until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Mix for another 2 minutes on low, and add a little more flour if the dough feels sticky.
- Once mixed, cover the bowl with a towel, and let the dough rest in a warm place for about 15 minutes.
- Once your dough has rested, transfer onto a lightly floured surface and separate into 2 equal pieces.
- Using a rolling pin, gently roll each piece of dough into a rectangle that is roughly 14″ x 10″.
- Brush each rectangle with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, then sprinkle each with 1/2 tablespoons of garlic salt, 1/2 tablespoon of Italian Herbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, making sure they are evenly spread.
- Roll each log up starting at the longer end so you have 2 long rolls. Use a sharp knife and cut down the center of each roll so you have four long halves total.
- Take 2 halves and pinch the ends on one side together, then twist the dough together loosely.
- Gently lay the garlic herb twist into your prepared 9”x5” loaf pan, tucking both ends under. Repeat with the other two halves.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Cover with a kitchen towel, and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until the dough has doubled.
- Once they have doubled in size, bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and baked through.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before removing from the loaf pans. Serve warm, or let the bread cool before slicing. Enjoy!
