Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 1 1/4 c warm water 110 degrees F
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast 1 packet
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3 1/2 c all purpose flour

For the Filling

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 c mozzarella shredded
  • 1/4 c Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Add the olive oil, salt, and flour. Using the paddle attachment, mix on low for 2 minutes. Then switch to the dough hook attachment. Knead on low for 4 minutes.
  • Grease a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.  Let the dough rise for 1-1 ½ hour or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, set aside.
  • Punch down the dough with your fist to release air. Divide the dough in half. Freeze or use one half for later.
  • Lightly flour your work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 12x15 rectangle.
  • In a small bowl combine the melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, parsley, and salt. Brush over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle half of it with the cheeses. Fold the half without cheese over on top of the side with cheese. Press to seal. Cut into 1 1/2-inch strips. Pinch both ends of the strip and twist in opposite directions. Take care not to drop the filling. Place each twist onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and top with additional Parmesan.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve immediately.
