Bacon Twists Aka Bacon Wrapped Breadsticks Recipes

Steps:

• Cut slice of bacon in half (vertically). Dip bacon in cheese and wrap around breadstick, cheese against bread. Dip outside of bacon-breadstick in cheese also. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven until bacon is crisp. Serve cold or warm.

Steps:

• Cut bacon strips in half and lay them out on a cutting board. Break the bread sticks into 4-inch lengths. Sprinkle the bacon with brown sugar so that the bacon is completely coated. Press the sugar onto the bacon with your fingers. Continue to sprinkle sugar and press it on until no more sugar will adhere.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Set a rack over a foil-lined baking sheet. Roll the bacon strips, sugar side in, around the bread sticks in a spiral fashion. Be sure to begin as close to the bread stick edge as possible and roll very tightly. Place seam side down on the rack. Bake about 20 minutes, but watch carefully so that the sugar doesn't burn in the last minutes of cooking. Remove them from the oven and let rest for an hour on the rack to become firm.

Steps:

• Slice bacon stips in half, lengthwise.
• Dredge in grated Parmesan cheese.
• Wrap bacon, in spirals, around the breadsticks.
• Place on microwave safe paper towel on microwave safe tray, so that breadsticks are not touching (usually 6-8 ).
• Cover with 2 layers of paper towels.
• Microwave on HIGH for approximately 5 minutes.
• If not done, cook in 1 minute intervals until done.

Steps:

• Mix together the flour, yeast, mustard powder, 11/2 tsp fine salt, the sugar, thyme leaves and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Stir in 250ml lukewarm water, use your hands to bring together into a dough, then knead for 10 mins on a clean surface until it is smooth and elastic. If you have a tabletop mixer with a dough hook, use this instead and 'knead' for just 5 mins. Sit the dough in a large, clean bowl, cover with oiled cling film and leave at room temperature for about 1 hr until doubled in size.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line your largest baking tray with baking parchment. Sit the lid of your boxed camembert in the centre of the tray.
• Knead the dough back into a smooth ball, then use your fingers to make a hole through the centre. Steadily stretch the doughnut shape into a large ring until the centre hole is large enough to fit around the lid. The best way to do this is to swing the dough around your fingers, then hand, like a hula-hoop.
• Sit the dough ring on the tray around the box lid. Use kitchen scissors to snip the dough ring into 20 strips, from the outside in, but leave a few millimetres of dough still connecting the strips together around the lid in the centre. If using the ready-to-eat pancetta slices, halve each one lengthways. Twist one of the 20 dough strips to make it longer and thinner like a breadstick, then wrap a pancetta slice in a spiral around it. Repeat with all the dough strips.
• Your breadsticks might look a little higgledy-piggledy at the moment, so use kitchen scissors to snip the ends off any that need it to make an even, round shape, if you like (see tip below). Brush with a little light olive oil and bake for 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, unwrap the camembert and top with the thyme sprigs. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with a little more black pepper. Remove the breadsticks from the oven and sit the cheese inside the box lid, then bake for another 5 mins until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese molten.

Steps:

• Wrap a bacon strip around each breadstick; place on baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown., In a shallow bowl, combine cheese and garlic powder. Roll warm breadsticks in cheese mixture.

Steps:

• 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.
