Strips of pizza dough are baked with a tongue-tickling layer of homemade pizza sauce, cheese and a few herby strokes too. The outcome is a fabulous treat that can be served as a snack, starter or accompaniment. Serve it fresh and warm to experience the cheesy, saucy feel on your palate!
Pizza Twists make a fitting accompaniment to soups , Tea , coffee , juice , milkshakes and goes wonderfully well as a side dish with Pastas .
