Bacon Twists Aka Bacon Wrapped Breadsticks
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 envelope easy-blend active dry yeast (I use just active dry yeast)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 2/3 cups hand-hot water (aka nuke it in the microwave for a minute)
- 12 lean bacon, strips (Turkey bacon is best imo)
- 1 egg, beaten (this is for the glaze only, I have yet to use it)
- Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a bowl and stir them together. Add a little of the water and mix. Add the remaining water and use your hands to pull the mixture together, to make a sticky dough.
- Knead the dough for 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 12 evenly sized pieces and roll each one into a sausage shape. Now is the time to grease a baking sheet.
- Wind a strip of bacon around each dough "sausage".
- Brush the "sausages" with beaten egg and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 400 Bake the "sausages" for 20-25 minutes, until cooked and browned.
