Do The Twist

These pizza twists have a very colorful attractive appearance along with its seductive aroma. It will latch on  to anyone as soon as there done baking and out of the oven. So make sure to make them big and make a lot of them. They are even easier to handle and more portable then pizza plus the filling can be easily change to your liking.

With me I did change up the filling for the original recipe called cheese twists. The recipe is very good to with its buttery, herb and cheese blend flavors.They are great for soups, pasta dishes and on there own.The texture to both versions are very risen, fluffy and chewy. The dough absorbs all flavors from filling very well and has a great balance. The pizza version of flavors can be anything based on your preferences on topping. For me I had pretty basic toppings( see in recipe). My flavors were spicy, cheesy and rich in tomato. I also recommend doubling this recipe because thats what I always do.

 So if its cheese,pepperoni or salami pizza twists they will all taste wonderful and I recommend trying them out for yourself. They are simple,versatile,full of flavor and great for experimenting fillings.

What I Did:

• Doubled The Recipe(Made larger, plus more twists)
