Soft Italian Bread Twists Recipe
  • Prep: 15 min. + rising Bake: 10 min.
  • Yield: 12 Servings
15 10 25

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
  • 2 to 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup warm water (120° to 130°)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Italian seasoning or grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions

  • In a food processor, combine the sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, yeast and 2 cups flour. Cover and process for 5-10 seconds. While processing, gradually add warm water and oil in a steady stream. Process for 1 minute or until smooth and elastic. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed.
  • Turn onto a floured surface. Roll into a 15-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Cut into 12 strips. Fold each strip in half lengthwise; twist each strip several times. Pinch ends to seal. Place 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic powder, paprika and remaining salt. Brush some over dough. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning or Parmesan cheese if desired. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 25 minutes.
  • Bake at 425° for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with remaining butter mixture. Yield: 1 dozen.
