Ingredients
Scale
For the Bread Twists
- 1 (13.8-oz) can refrigerated pizza crust
For the Coating
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- ¾ tsp garlic salt (or garlic powder)
- ½ tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425ºF (220ºC) to ensure it’s hot and ready for the bread twists.
- Prepare Dough Strips: Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto a clean surface. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough lengthwise into 8 long strips. Then cut each strip in half, making a total of 16 strips.
- Twist and Arrange: Hold each strip at both ends and twist it several times to create the signature spiral shape. Place each twisted strip on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly.
- Bake the Twists: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the twists are golden and crisp.
- Prepare Coating Mixture: While the twists bake, in a large bowl combine the melted butter, grated Parmesan, garlic salt (or powder), and dried oregano.
- Toss Bread Twists: Once the twists are baked, immediately transfer them into the bowl with the butter and cheese mixture. Toss well to evenly coat each twist with the flavorful topping.
- Optional Garnish: Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over the coated twists for an extra cheesy finish if desired.
- Serve Warm: Serve your Parmesan Bread Twists warm for the best taste and texture. Enjoy as a snack or alongside your favorite meal.
Notes
- You can swap garlic salt for garlic powder if you prefer a less salty coating.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
- Use fresh grated Parmesan for the best flavor, though pre-grated works well too.
- These bread twists are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated briefly in the oven to restore crispiness.
