For those of us who could live by bread alone, these definitely need to be added to the menu!  Instead of using frozen bread dough, I used homemade dough.  I don’t think it would have made much difference in the end result but I didn’t have frozen bread dough and it’s so easy to make it myself.

At first I was worried that all the cheese was going to fall out but it didn’t at all.

Ingredients:

1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. each dried basil and oregano
3/4 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1 T. water
4 T. grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12″ square.  Combine butter and seasonings.  Spread over dough.  Sprinkle with mozzarella.  Fold dough into thirds.  Cut crosswise into 24 strips, about 1/2″ wide each.  Twist each strip twice.  Pinch ends to seal.  Place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30 minutes.

In a small bowl, beat egg and water.  Brush over the twists.  Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Bake at 375° for 10 – 12 minutes or until light golden bread.
