Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
Make sure your yeast is active and fresh before using it. If you're not sure, you can test it by mixing it with a little warm water and sugar. If it starts to foam after a few minutes, it's good to use.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the dough, which will make the bread light and fluffy.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will create air pockets in the bread.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too dry.
Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the bread from tearing.

Conclusion:

Soft bread twists are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of flavors and toppings. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect soft bread twists every time.
