The other day I again was feeling lazy and bored. I was also hungry.
So, I set out on a quest to find something to eat, and to combat my boredom.
I had the idea to make cheese twists.
I looked all over the Internet to try and find a good recipe, but none of them seemed very good.
I then... had the genius idea...(feel the suspense building)... to come up with my own recipe (!!!)
This was completely made with what I had on hand....
Here it is as follows:
2 1/2 cups white flour
1/4 cup melted butter
3/4 cup warm milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp mustard powder
2 TBS powdered Parmesan cheese
2 cloves of fresh garlic, crushed
Filling
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 egg, beaten
In a bowl, mix everything (but the fillings) together until a dough is formed. If needed add a little extra flour or milk. Then let sit covered for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F
Then on a floured counter roll out dough until it is 1/4 inch thick.
Top with cheese, and flood over. Then roll out again.
Cut into strips, and then twist the strips, and place on a greased baking sheet.
Brush with the egg, and then place into the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
Makes 15 to 20 twists.
Overall, I thought that they turned out really well. They tasted really good! However, I don't think that their was enough liquid in the dough. The next time I make them I am going to add more butter and milk.
Here are some pictures of the process! :)
