Breadtwists (Our Version of The Pizza Factory Breadsticks)

This recipe is so easy and sooo good! They taste amazingly similar to the breadsticks at The Pizza Factory in Utah.
Breadtwists (Our Version of The Pizza Factory Breadsticks)

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups warm water
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. yeast
  • Let that sit for 5 minutes. Then add:
  • 3½ cups flour
  • 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

  • Mix until smooth then let raise for 10 minutes. Roll out dough into a large square on a floured surface. Brush with melted (real) butter mixed with minced garlic and then sprinkle with kosher salt. Fold in half and cut into 1 inch strips. Twist and place on a cooking sheet. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes to raise. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately after baking, brush with more garlic butter and sprinkle with kosher salt and grated parmesan cheese.
  • Serve with marinara(see below), alfredo sauce, or ranch for dipping.
  • Dough also makes a great pizza dough, just roll out into a large circle, add your favorite toppings, and bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Marinara Sauce: Brown about a Tbsp of minced garlic in olive oil in the bottom of a sauce pan. Add 1 small can of tomato paste, 1 small can tomato sauce, and 1 tomato, lightly blended. Then add 2 tsp. basil and 2 tsp. oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for half an hour.

  22. Erica says:

    @Jenn– I hope I am understanding the question correctly..

    You mix the water, sugar and yeast together and let it sit for 5 minutes. After it sits, then you add the flour and salt.

    Did I answer that right? Let me know if you are still confused! Sorry about that!

    Erica

  23. The Goffs says:

    Yep! You answered my question- I am making them tonight! I'll let you know how I did ;) LoL
