Ingredients

1 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Activate Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Make Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian herbs if using.
Shape Twists: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Brush the garlic butter mixture over the dough and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Cut into strips and twist each strip.
Bake: Place the twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
