Garlic Twists Recipes

GARLIC TWISTS

Steps:

• Add the dough ingredients to the baking pan of your breadmachine and select the dough cycle.
• When the dough is ready, take it out and seperate the dough into 16 equal pieces.
• Roll each piece into a rope about 14 inches long.
• For smaller twists, you can twist 1 rope of dough by bending the rope in half and twisting the ends.
• For larger twists, you can twist 2 ropes of dough together, making sure you pinch the ends together.
• Place the twists on a cookie sheet coated with nonstick spray.
• Mix the ingredients for the glaze together and generously spread each twist with some of the glaze.
• Let the twists rise for about 15 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

EASY GARLIC TWISTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
• Add Italian seasoning, garlic and cheese to the melted butter in a bowl and stir to combine.
• Separate out biscuits and then flatten out with your hand to make them a rectangle shape. Add a small spoonful of the butter mixture onto each biscuit and spread with your spoon.
• Cut the biscuits down the middle lengthwise with a knife. With your fingers, twist each a few times. Place on baking sheet. If you have any leftover butter, you an brush it on the twists.
• Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

CRUSTY GARLIC TWISTS

Steps:

• Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Combine 9 rolls together and roll into a 10x16-inch rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest. Repeat with remaining rolls to make two rectangles. In a small bowl combine olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. In another bowl combine 1/2 cup cheese, rosemary and thyme.
• Remove wrap from dough and brush one rectangle with half of the olive oil mixture. Sprinkle cheese mixture over olive oil. Place second rectangle over cheese mixture and press down lightly with hands. Cut, along the 16-inch side into 18 equal pieces (less than 1-inch wide).
• Twist each one several times and place on sprayed baking sheets. Brush with remaining olive oil mixture and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake at 350°F 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and crusty. Remove from oven and brush with additional olive oil if desired. Sprinkle with additional cheese or salt, if desired.

GARLIC PARMESAN TWISTS

Steps:

• For the dough, measure the flour, sugar, yeast and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment. Stir the hot water and milk together (the hot water and cold milk should balance temperatures to about 115°F (46°C). Add this and the eggs to the bowl and start the mixer on low, letting it go for a minute or two until the dough is almost combined. Break the butter into pieces and add a few at a time as mixing. Increase the speed one level and continue to mix until the dough is smooth looking (but it will be very soft), about 6 minutes. Transfer this to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let this sit on the counter for an hour before putting it in the fridge overnight (6-24 hours).
• For the filling, whisk the milk, cornstarch, garlic and mustard together in a saucepan and then turn the heat on medium. Whisk this until it reaches a full simmer and thickens, about 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and then whisk in the Asiago until melted in, followed by the Parmesan. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the parsley. Let this cool to room temperature and then chill for at least 2 hours before using (this can be made a day ahead).
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking dish. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (the dough will be firm now) and roll out to a 12-x-16-inch (30-x-40-cm) rectangle. Spread the chilled cheese filling over the dough and roll up from the long side (for easier slicing, chill this for an hour, up to a day before baking). Slice the dough into 12 pieces and arrange them in the baking dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a tea towel and let this sit on the counter for about an hour, until the twists rise by about 50%. Bake the twists for about 40 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling in places. Cool the buns in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes before glazing.
• While the twists are baking, prepare the glaze. Heat the maple syrup, garlic and chili flakes over low heat for about 5 minutes and set aside. Brush the tops of the twists with the maple glaze and sprinkle the green onions overtop. Serve warm.
• The twists are best the day they are baked. If serving for brunch, they can be sliced and arranged in the pan and then chilled overnight before proofing and baking the next day.

GARLIC HERB BREAD TWISTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Lightly oil 2 large (17- by 13-inch) baking sheets.
• Stir together rosemary, thyme, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Stir together oil, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in another bowl.
• Divide dough in half. Keeping half of dough covered with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth), gently roll out other half into a 15-by 10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. (Use your hands to pull corners. If dough is very elastic, cover with towel and let rest about 3 minutes.)
• Sprinkle one half of dough (crosswise) with half of herb mixture, then fold dough in half crosswise and roll lightly to form a roughly 10- by 8-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 9 strips (less than 1 inch wide) with a pizza wheel or a sharp heavy knife. Keeping remaining strips covered with a kitchen towel, twist each strip from both ends and place on baking sheet, arranging twists 1 inch apart. Brush with 1 tablespoon garlic oil and let stand while forming remaining bread twists.
• Roll out and form more bread twists with remaining dough and herb mixture, then arrange on other sheet. Brush with 1 tablespoon garlic oil and let stand 5 minutes.
• Bake bread twists, switching position of sheets halfway through, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, stir together parsley and remaining 3/4 cup cheese in a shallow baking pan.
• Immediately after baking, brush bread twists with remaining garlic oil, then roll in parsley and cheese until coated. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GARLIC-HERB CHEESE TWISTS RECIPE

• Place strips, 1 inch apart, on parchment-covered rimmed baking sheet. Hold both ends of 1 strip, then turn ends in opposite directions to form twist. Repeat with remaining dough strips. Brush with butter; sprinkle with remaining ingredients.
• Bake 9 to 10 min. or until golden brown.
