How about preparing this easy crowd pleasure? This recipe is so easy and great for the starter when you have a big get together. I have been making it for long time and everyone who tasted it loved it ❤. Recently I prepared for appetizer for friends get together at my house. I baked it at the end and pulled it out from oven and served immediately to the guests. They all absolutely loved it! This recipe needs few ingredients to make it. I am using pizza dough to make this bread. You can either prepare pizza dough from scratch or buy ready-made dough.

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 12-15 minutes

Ingredients:

For Dough
1 1/2 cups each of plain flour or all-purpose flour and wheat flour
2 tbsp olive oil or any cooking oil
1 tsp caraway seeds
Salt to taste
1 tsp active dry yeast
Pinch of sugar
Warm water

Other Ingredients
2-3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Small pinch of garlic powder
Pinch of salt

Procedure:

1. To make dough, take 1/2 cup luck warm water in a bowl. Add pinch of sugar and mix. Add 1 tsp dry yeast, stir and keep on side to activate. If yeast does not activate then throw the mixture and restart. Water should be luck warm not hot otherwise yeast does not activate.

2. Mix all the ingredients for the dough including activated yeast and make soft dough with warm water. Knead the dough properly. Place the dough in a greased bowl and put it in a warm place to rise for 2-3 hours until dough doubles in size.

3. In a bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and pinch of salt.

4. Prepare cake pan first by rubbing butter and dust with dry flour. I am using bundt cake pan which gives nice shape to the bread when ready.

5.  When dough doubles in size, knead the dough one more time. Make golf ball size balls, roll these balls in to oil mixture one at a time and twist it using both hands. Then arrange it in cake pan. Cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise for 1 hour in warm place.

6. Heat the oven at 375F. Bake the bread for around 12-15 minutes or until completely baked and see the brown crust on the top. The house will be bursting with flavours. Check with tooth pick if it comes out clean.

7. When pan cools down slightly, flip the bread in a plate and serve immediately You can grates some cheese on top when bread is still hot. Guests can pull one bread at a time. It is crusty from outside and very soft from inside. Believe me this will be a BIG hit! Just make sure you make extra 😜😃.

You can add layer of grated mozzarella cheese while arranging balls in the pan before baking. You can also add grated fresh garlic in stead of garlic powder in olive oil. There are endless possibilities how you like to season these twists. You can speed up the process by using store bought pizza dough. Or just follow the recipe and I can assure you that it will be the best tasting twists.
