Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5-7 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 12-inch rope and fold it in half. Twist the two strands together gently and pinch the ends to seal.
Place the twists on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the twists. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm!
