Dough

Warm Water: This is for your yeast to have a way to be activated. Granulated Sugar: Adds a little sweetness and feeds the yeast. Instant Dry Yeast: Makes the breadsticks light and fluffy. (Do NOT use active dry yeast for this recipe.) All-purpose flour: The structure and base for these delicious homemade breadtwists. Salt: Enhances the flavors.

Butter Topping

Salted Butter: Adds richness and moisture to the homemade breadtwists. Garlic Powder: I always feel like garlic is measured with your heart! Dried Oregano: Gives the breadtwists a nice herbal flavor. Dried Basil: Adds a subtle citrus herb flavor that is the perfect complement to garlic. Salt: Enhances the flavors. Grated Parmesan Cheese: I recommend using the kind from the bottle.

Dough

Butter Topping

Instant Yeast: Use instant yeast, not active dry yeast, for this recipe. It will make the process of proofing the dough much quicker. If you use active dry yeast, you need to activate it by mixing the yeast with the sugar and water and letting it sit for about 5 minutes before mixing the dough.  Season Options: You can season these bread twists any way you like! In addition to the spices mentioned or in place of them, you can use Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, fresh minced herbs, freshly grated parmesan cheese, or other cheeses.  More Cheese Please: The measurement for the parmesan cheese is just a guideline, you can use more or less if you’d like. Same with the salt and seasonings, season these bread twists to taste. Two Batches: You may have to bake the twists in two batches. I was only able to fit eight twits on a sheet pan. If you do end up being in two batches, keep the second batch in the fridge until the oven is ready for them to slow the proofing process.

Countertop: Store bread twists at room temperature for up to 4 days, and keep them in a container once they have completely cooled.  Freezer: Store in the freezer in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Fridge: Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
