Pizza Factory Breadtwists

 

MY LATEST RECIPES

Two of us sisters worked there when we were in High School and now that we are far away we dream about these, and the amazing salad bar, and the gobbler sandwiches!  Whenever we do get to visit Utah, I love hitting up the Pizza Factory, something about it just feels like home.  If you want truly authentic pizza factory breadtwists, add a little dill into the garlic butter.  Then dip them in ranch, or alfredo sauce, or marinara, or honey butter. 🙂

 

Breadtwists make a great side dish to just about any meal.  You’ll notice that some of our soup recipes have these yummy twists on the side.  There is just the right combination of butter, garlic, and parmesan cheese folded into the dough and twisted that makes these completely irresistible.

  13. My family loved them!! I also substituted 1 1/2 cups wheat flour for the white, and it turned out great, but just a little heavier than I wanted.

  22. @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!

  25. Now to try making them into those yummy Cinnamon Twists they make at Pizza Factory! You wouldn’t know how to make their dipping sauce for those would ya? 🙂

  26. I have made these a number of times and they are truly amazing…..best breadsticks ever. The garlic butter makes them, but they are soft and chewy and it is pure heaven pulling them apart and diving in right out if the oven. Even if your soup isn’t ready. Mine makes about a dozen and they are pretty good sized. I always wondered how to get beautifully twisted breadsticks and now I know. These are so awesome. Thanks again for good eats!

  29. In the process of making these and can’t wait to have one! Just found your website through Pintrest and I’m definitely going to repin. I love to cook, but have been unsuccessful at making most anything using yeast. Not anymore! Looking forward to using this recipe for many different recipes! Thanks so much!

  30. i want to make this breadtwist tonight, what kind of yeast did you use, is it regular active dry yeast or instant dry yeast? (packet-size?) thanks.

  31. Do you know if it would work to make the dough twists at night, refrigerate them, let them rise in the morning and then bake? I would love to make these for my daughter’s Rapunzel party and do as much as possible ahead of time.
