Our Easy Cheesy Garlic Twists
I love breadsticks. I mean, I LOVE breadsticks! Give them a twist and add some cheese to them and that just makes them a hundred times better. We love these Easy Cheesy Garlic Twists with our hodgepodge of snacks and appetizers that we have every year to celebrate the New Year. They are also a great addition to any pizza or pasta night. These Easy Cheesy Garlic Twists are so easy to make with just a tube of premade pizza dough, butter, garlic and shredded cheese.
Ingredients, Substitutions, and Additions
Pizza Crust – We have found the easiest ways to start off this recipe is with a tube of premade pizza crust. It doesn’t matter what brand, we often go with the store brand if available. The fact that it already comes in the shape of a rectangle saves us time rolling out the dough into the perfect shape.
Butter – Ok, this might not go over well. However, I’ve tried using real butter on these and I just don’t like the flavor. So really we just use margarine. I find it tastes a lot better. But use what you like. You are the one that will have to eat them after all.
Cheese – Any cheese will do for these. I used a shredded mozzarella but we just use whatever we have in our refrigerator. We also top it off with some grated parmesan cheese.
Garlic – If you want the best flavor, go with fresh minced garlic.
Optional Additions – If you want a little extra with your Cheesy Garlic Twists, add some bacon bits or diced jalapeños.
