NexTrend 3rd Generation Clear Garlic Twist

Product Information

Using a rolling pin, gently roll each piece of dough into a rectangle that is roughly 14" x 10". Brush each rectangle with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, then sprinkle each with ½ tablespoons of garlic salt, ½ tablespoon of Italian Seasoning and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, making sure they are evenly spread.

Now, twist the two strands of dough together to form a "rope". Gently push the ends together so that both ends of the rope are sealed. My rope was around 30" (76 cm) long when I finished (the dough does stretch a bit). Butter & Milk- you can use plant based alternatives if you prefer. Swap the butter for 50g of olive oil or vegan butter. Use the plant based milk of your choice. Gently wrap two pastry strips together to create a twist, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet (can use a silicone sheet, if you have one). Try and create a tighter twist with more twists, to ensure they don’t explode or lose their twist shape in the oven Roll the dough up into a big log - just like you would if you were making cinnamon rolls. Make sure it's rolled fairly tightly. Seal the dough up along the seam and roll it over so that the seam is at the bottom. Bake for 12 minutes, or until melted and golden brown. Sprinkle with extra sea salt and chilli flakes, and serve hot or cold.

Even though store-bought dough is convenient, I encourage you to try homemade dough. The dough requires so few ingredients, and about 60–90 minutes of rise time. Garlic- I recommend using 3 cloves of fresh garlic but if you don't have access to fresh, 2 tbsp of minced garlic or equivalent garlic granules or garlic powder would work too.

It's So Easy- while this twist has wow factor, it is actually really easy to make. If you can roll up dough (like making a batch of sourdough cinnamon rolls) then you can make this twist! I've included loads of easy to follow photos to show you how. It's such a great way to use up all the herbs in your herb garden. People with more severe wrist arthritis may have a harder time. However, many people with milder arthritis are able to use the gadget. Here are a few tips: On second thought----I may need 2 dozen!!! Several of us have second homes. . . .I have three wedding showers….and a bunch of birthdays and am ALWAYS looking for something unique!!!

Peeling and chopping garlic can be a chore, and it's one that seems to be almost universally dreaded. From the difficulty of peeling the skins off the cloves by hand to attempting to get a nice, even dice from a large kitchen knife, it can take a while to do a relatively simple task. Having gadgets to make small kitchen chores easier is a welcome thing in the modern age, and we doubt that you'll be disappointed by adding a garlic press to your kitchen arsenal.

Add the warm water, warm milk and active starter to a large bowl and stir until the sourdough starter is dissolved (it's ok if there's still a few chunks). The Zyliss Susi 3 is a traditional-style press that comes with a silicone cleaning device that stows away within the unit. It has a large chamber that can fit two or three garlic cloves and features a nice, flat grate that allows you to easily scrape off the minced garlic. The best feature of this press is that its cleaning tool won't easily get lost. While the dough is rising, make the filling for the dough so that it is ready to go when you need it. Simple chop all the herbs and garlic really finely (so that it's like minced herbs) and then add the herbs and parmesan cheese to the butter. Mix until well combined.

Testimonials

When you're ready to bake, remove from the fridge and allow the twist to come to room temperature before you bake it (you still want it to be nice and puffy before it hits the oven). Flavor Variations for Savory Sourdough Twist Of course, you can make as many or few twists as you would like. I have made these for our weeknight meal and also for when we entertain. I have found you just batch cook if you don’t have enough room in the oven to cook them all up at once. Fresh Garlic for Garlic Twists

If you're planning on making this sourdough herb and garlic twist for an event, I suggest baking it as close to when you want to serve it as possible. It's delicious warm, served as a pull apart loaf. However, it will stay fairly fresh for around 12 hours after baking time and you can gently warm it up in the oven if you want to. Once the dough has proofed, preheat the oven to 200C (392F) and bake for around 40 minutes or until golden. I recommend placing your twist on the lower shelf to avoid it burning. If your oven is fan forced or it runs hot, reduce this to temp to 180C (356F). Hi there: just a line to say that I finally got around to reading the Taste section of the Sacramento. Bee and read your complete article re your Garlic Twist.

Whisk the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or paddle attachment.
