Garlic Twists Recipes

HOMEMADE GARLIC KNOTS

Steps:

• Whisk the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or paddle attachment. Cover and allow to rest for 5 minutes. *If you don't have a stand mixer, simply use a large mixing bowl and mix the dough with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula in the next step.
• Add the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and half of the flour. Beat for 15 seconds, then add the remaining flour. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. With lightly floured hands, knead the dough for 3-4 minutes (for a visual, watch me do it in the video above). The dough can be a little too heavy for a mixer to knead it, but you can certainly use the mixer on low speed instead. After kneading, the dough should still feel a little soft. Poke it with your finger - if it slowly bounces back, your dough is ready to rise. If not, keep kneading.
• Lightly grease a large bowl with oil or nonstick spray- just use the same bowl you used for the dough. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides in the oil. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until double in size. (Tip: For the warm environment on a particularly cold day, heat your oven to 150°F (66°C). Turn the oven off, place the dough inside, and keep the door slightly ajar. This will be a warm environment for your dough to rise. After about 30 minutes, close the oven door to trap the air inside with the rising dough. When it's doubled in size, remove from the oven.)
• Use the video tutorial and step-by-step photos above as your guide for this step. When the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air. Using floured hands on a lightly floured work surface, shape the dough into a 16×5 inch log. (5 inch width really isn't as important as the 16 inch length here, no need to be exact.) Using a very sharp knife, pizza cutter, or bench scraper, slice into 16 1-inch strips. Roll each strip into 8 inch ropes. Tie each into knots. You can tuck the two ends of the knots underneath the knot or leave them out, that's up to you. Arrange the knots on 2 lined baking sheets. (Either parchment paper or silicone baking mats work.)
• Lightly cover the shaped knots and let them rest for at least 30 minutes and up to 45 minutes. They will slightly puff up during this time, producing softer rolls.
• Towards the end of the rise time, preheat oven to 400°F (204°).
• Stir the melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt together. Brush on the knots. Reserve some of the topping for when the knots come out of the oven.
• Bake for about 20-23 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and brush the warm knots with remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and/or parsley, if using.
• Serve plain or with marinara sauce for dipping.
• Cover and store leftover knots at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Freeze baked and cooled knots for up to 3 months. Thaw on the counter, then reheat as desired. (I usually just microwave them for a few seconds.)

GARLIC-HERB CHEESE TWISTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Unroll dough on cutting board; cut lengthwise into 4 strips. Cut each strip lengthwise in half. (You will have a total of 8 strips.)
• 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.

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.

AIR FRYER GARLIC PARMESAN TWISTS

Steps:

• Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup of the melted butter, parmesan, chili flakes, garlic, and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
• Unfold the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and cut in half with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
• Spread the cheesy garlic butter on to one half of the pastry. Cover with the other half pastry sheet.
• Roll out the pastry sheet to about 1/8 of an inch thickness. This will press the cheesy garlic butter into the pastry.
• Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into 1-inch wide strips.
• Gently twist the strips to make the curls.
• Place on the baking sheet and pop into the fridge for 30 minutes. This will make them puff up better when cooking.
• Spray the Air Fryer basket with cooking spray and preheat Air Fryer to 375°F.
• Brush pastry twists with reserved 2 tbsp of melted butter.
• Carefully transfer pastry twists into the Air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, until puffed up and golden brown. Depending on the size of the Air Fryer, you may have to do this in batches.
• When done you can brush with some more butter, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with sauce of choice.

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.
