Ingredients:

• 1 ⅝ cups flour
• 7g dry yeast
• 3g salt
• 180ml warm milk
• 45g butter
• 1 egg
• 125g shredded cheese
• 3 tbsp chopped parsley
• Softened butter
• Egg wash

Directions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
   • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the yeast, warm milk, butter, and egg.
   • Whisk the wet ingredients together, gradually incorporating the flour from the sides until a dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough:
   • Once the dough starts to come together, knead it thoroughly until it becomes smooth and elastic.
   • Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for 1 hour to rise.
3. Shape and Fill:
   • Divide the dough into quarters and roll each piece into a ball.
   • Roll each ball out into a rectangular shape.
   • Brush two of the rectangles with softened butter, then sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese and chopped parsley.
   • Place the remaining two rectangles of dough on top of the filled ones.
4. Twist the Strips:
   • Lightly roll over the layers with a rolling pin to secure them together.
   • Cut the dough into strips.
   • Pair the strips together, brushing a little more butter between them, and twist each pair as shown in the tutorial video.
5. Final Preparation and Baking:
   • Place the twisted strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
   • Let them rest for another 20 minutes.
   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
   • Brush the twists with egg wash.
   • Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and deliciously fragrant.
