Easy Pizza Twists
Description
This recipe uses a roll of refrigerated pizza dough as a base, cutting it into rectangles about 2 inches wide and 5 inches long. Each strip is sprinkled with dried oregano and parsley, then topped with shredded mozzarella and halved pepperoni slices. The dough is gently twisted to create a spiral shape, pinching the ends to hold the shape during baking.
After placing the twists on a parchment-lined baking sheet, they are brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese. Baking at 350°F for 15 to 18 minutes yields golden, crisp twists with melty cheese and a rich, herb-infused flavor. The twisting technique creates a light texture with pockets of cheese and pepperoni.
These pizza twists are ideal as an appetizer or snack, served warm alongside a dipping sauce such as warm tomato or pizza sauce. The combination of herbs and cheese enhances the simple dough, delivering familiar pizza flavors in an easy-to-eat form.
