1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (2 oz), divided
1/4 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds pizza dough or use store-bought)
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Lightly oil 2 large (17- by 13-inch) baking sheets.
  • Stir together rosemary, thyme, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Stir together oil, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in another bowl.
  • Divide dough in half. Keeping half of dough covered with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth), gently roll out other half into a 15-by 10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. (Use your hands to pull corners. If dough is very elastic, cover with towel and let rest about 3 minutes.)
  • Sprinkle one half of dough (crosswise) with half of herb mixture, then fold dough in half crosswise and roll lightly to form a roughly 10- by 8-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 9 strips (less than 1 inch wide) with a pizza wheel or a sharp heavy knife. Keeping remaining strips covered with a kitchen towel, twist each strip from both ends and place on baking sheet, arranging twists 1 inch apart. Brush with 1 tablespoon garlic oil and let stand while forming remaining bread twists.
  • Roll out and form more bread twists with remaining dough and herb mixture, then arrange on other sheet. Brush with 1 tablespoon garlic oil and let stand 5 minutes.
  • Bake bread twists, switching position of sheets halfway through, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, stir together parsley and remaining 3/4 cup cheese in a shallow baking pan.
  • Immediately after baking, brush bread twists with remaining garlic oil, then roll in parsley and cheese until coated. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes 28 twists

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs, such as sage, thyme, or rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg white
1 teaspoon milk
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (1 ounce)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. In food processor, pulse flour, salt, pepper, and herbs. Add oil, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. With machine running, add 1/4 cup cold water; process until dough comes together.
  • Transfer dough to lightly floured surface; divide into 2 equal parts. In small bowl, whisk together egg white and milk; set aside. Roll out dough into a 7-by-9-inch sheet, 1/8 of an inch thick. Brush dough with egg wash; sprinkle generously with cheese.
  • Cut dough into 1/2-inch strips. Twist each strip; pull until 16 to 18 inches long. Transfer to ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until dough just begins to brown and feels firm to the touch. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Store in airtight plastic container.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the bread tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help the bread to be light and airy.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Serve the bread warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
