Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp instant yeast

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

¾ cup warm water (110°F/43°C)

2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped

½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

¼ cup grated parmesan cheese (optional for garnish)

Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.

      - Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.

        - Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

          First Rise:

            - Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

              Make the Herb Mix:

                - In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Set aside.

                  Shape the Flatbread Twists:

                    - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

                      - After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal pieces.

                        - Roll out each piece into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil and sprinkle the garlic herb mixture evenly across the top.

                          Twist and Bake:

                            - Cut each rectangle into strips about 1 inch wide.

                              - Take each strip, twist it gently, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

                                - Repeat with the remaining dough pieces. Ensure they are spaced a bit apart for even baking.

                                  - Brush the tops of the twists with more olive oil and sprinkle sea salt on top.

                                    Final Bake:

                                      - Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.

                                        Serve:

                                          - Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. For an extra touch, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese while still warm.

                                            - Serve your Garlic Herb Flatbread Twists warm with marinara sauce for dipping or enjoy them as a delightful appetizer!
