CHEESY GARLIC AND HERB TWISTS

Steps:

GARLIC PARMESAN TWISTS

Steps:

• For the dough, measure the flour, sugar, yeast and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment. Stir the hot water and milk together (the hot water and cold milk should balance temperatures to about 115°F (46°C). Add this and the eggs to the bowl and start the mixer on low, letting it go for a minute or two until the dough is almost combined. Break the butter into pieces and add a few at a time as mixing. Increase the speed one level and continue to mix until the dough is smooth looking (but it will be very soft), about 6 minutes. Transfer this to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let this sit on the counter for an hour before putting it in the fridge overnight (6-24 hours).
• For the filling, whisk the milk, cornstarch, garlic and mustard together in a saucepan and then turn the heat on medium. Whisk this until it reaches a full simmer and thickens, about 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and then whisk in the Asiago until melted in, followed by the Parmesan. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the parsley. Let this cool to room temperature and then chill for at least 2 hours before using (this can be made a day ahead).
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking dish. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (the dough will be firm now) and roll out to a 12-x-16-inch (30-x-40-cm) rectangle. Spread the chilled cheese filling over the dough and roll up from the long side (for easier slicing, chill this for an hour, up to a day before baking). Slice the dough into 12 pieces and arrange them in the baking dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a tea towel and let this sit on the counter for about an hour, until the twists rise by about 50%. Bake the twists for about 40 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling in places. Cool the buns in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes before glazing.
• While the twists are baking, prepare the glaze. Heat the maple syrup, garlic and chili flakes over low heat for about 5 minutes and set aside. Brush the tops of the twists with the maple glaze and sprinkle the green onions overtop. Serve warm.
• The twists are best the day they are baked. If serving for brunch, they can be sliced and arranged in the pan and then chilled overnight before proofing and baking the next day.

HERBED BREAD TWISTS

Bake at 375° until light golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks.

PUFF PASTRY CHEESE TWISTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Thaw the pastry sheet at room temperature covered by a clean kitchen cloth, about 30 minutes. While the pastry is thawing, combine cheese, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt and cayenne in a small mixing bowl. Stir well to combine. In a clean small mixing bowl, beat the egg with a fork. On a lightly floured surface, gently unfold the pastry.
• Sprinkle the pastry lightly with flour and using a rolling pin, roll into a 14 by 10-inch rectangle. Brush the top of the pastry with a beaten egg. Cut in 1/2 lengthwise to form 2 (7 by 10-inch) rectangles. Spread the herb-cheese mixture with the back of a spoon evenly across 1 rectangle. Lay the second rectangle across the coated piece, egg side-down. With the rolling pin lightly roll the 2 sheets together to seal. With a large knife cut crosswise into strips, about 1/3-inch wide each. (Alternately, you can use a pizza wheel to cut the strips.) One at a time, grab the ends of each strip and twist in opposite directions to form a spiral. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Bake until light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheets until cool enough to handle. Serve either warm or at room temperature.

• Divide dough in half. Keeping half of dough covered with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth), gently roll out other half into a 15-by 10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. (Use your hands to pull corners. If dough is very elastic, cover with towel and let rest about 3 minutes.)
• Sprinkle one half of dough (crosswise) with half of herb mixture, then fold dough in half crosswise and roll lightly to form a roughly 10- by 8-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 9 strips (less than 1 inch wide) with a pizza wheel or a sharp heavy knife. Keeping remaining strips covered with a kitchen towel, twist each strip from both ends and place on baking sheet, arranging twists 1 inch apart. Brush with 1 tablespoon garlic oil and let stand while forming remaining bread twists.
