How to Make Soft Italian Bread Twists
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add olive oil, salt, and 1 cup of flour. Mix until combined.
- Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 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.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a 12-inch rope.
- Twist two ropes together and pinch the ends to seal.
- Place the twisted breadsticks onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse sea salt (optional).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
