Garlic Parmesan Bread Twists are the perfect snack or appetizer for any gathering. With their irresistible aroma of fresh garlic and the nutty flavor of Parmesan cheese, these bread twists will disappear fast at any meal. They are simple to make, utilizing store-bought pizza dough, and can be enjoyed fresh out of the oven, making them an instant favorite for families and guests alike.
Ingredients
- 1 package store-bought pizza dough
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature helps achieve that perfect golden brown crust on your bread twists.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/4-inch thick. This gives the dough enough surface area to cut strips that will twist beautifully.
In a bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, and a pinch of salt. This delectable mixture coats the dough, infusing it with flavor.
Brush the butter mixture generously onto each strip of dough. Then, twist each strip, creating a spiral effect, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese for a savory finishing touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the twists turn a delightful golden brown. The aroma will fill your kitchen, beckoning everyone to the table!
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- Feel free to use fresh garlic for a more robust flavor, or if you’re short on time, garlic powder works in a pinch.
- Experiment with different herbs like basil or thyme to change up the flavor profile.
- If you want a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
- Try stuffing the twists with cheese or cooked spinach for a richer version.
