Calories: 129kcal
Ingredients
- 300 grams pizza dough 1 pizza worth
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano optional
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil optional
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saute pan over low heat.
- Add the garlic and salt to the butter and saute gently for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Remove from heat and mix in herbs if using. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven 425°F. Divide the dough into 12 equal sized balls.
- Cut each ball in half and roll each half into a 6 inch long rope.
- Press one end of each rope together and begin to cross one over the other, going back and forth to create a twist. Go slow and keep the twist tight. Pinch the ends together to close the twist.
- Transfer to a baking sheet. Brush the garlic butter on top. Sprinkle each bread twist with a generous tablespoon of shredded cheese, if desired.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the edges and cheese on top are a light golden brown.
