How to Make Ham And Cheese Twists

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add the oil, salt, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and roll it out to a 12x18 inch rectangle.
  6. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheese and diced ham evenly over the buttered dough.
  8. Tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side.
  9. Cut the log into 1-inch thick slices.
  10. Place the twists onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving and enjoy! These are delicious warm or at room temperature.
