CHEESE AND GARLIC TWIST

Preparation Method :

• Mix the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl and rub in the oil or butter.
• Heat the liquid to body temperature. Mix the yeast with some of the warm liquid and add it to the flour.
• Make a soft dough, adding the rest of the liquid. Knead well for about 10 minutes.
• Place the dough in a bowl, cover it with a large polythene bag, and leave it in a warm place to rise until double in bulk for 3 hours.
• Remove the dough from the bowl, knead it for a few minutes. Divide the dough into two portions and roll out the portions into rectangles.
• Mix all the filling ingredients together, season to taste and spread on the rectangles.
• Roll the rectangles like Swiss rolls, place seam side down on a greased and floured baking tray.
• With a sharp, floured knife make one deep cut along the length of each roll so the layers open out slightly.
• Quickly twist the two rolls together, cut sides on top; stick both the ends in place with a little water and brush the top with beaten egg.
• Allow them to rise again until double in size. Brush with egg again, and bake in a hot oven, 200° C (400° F), for 30 - 35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cool a little; serve warm.
