  1. Happy New Year, Pam and Jim. Every time I make a loaf of bread or spray Steramine on my counter I think of you! Who knew I would take up bread making at age 82? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

  2. I would love to make these, but what can you use to mix the ingredients if you do not have a food processer. Only a hand mixer. Thanks

  3. For the savoury ones try shredded cheese and oregano you’ll probably enjoy them more. I like your orange zest ones as a new idea for me. You could also brush them with egg whites and a bit of water to brown them more for visual appeal. Also brush them before you divide them into 1/2” strips, just for ease in labour.

  4. The cinnamon/sugar and the zest with sugar would be great with a cup of coffee or chai tea

  5. My mother used to take left over pie crust dough and make something like your dough and put cinnamon roll filling and roll up as a treat for us.

  6. Maybe add pesto to the dough and add parmasean cheese to the out side. Garlic also sounds like a nice add in. This is a nice idea. Quick and easy and something to have with soup.

  7. There’s is a local pizza place that makes these. They call it Pepe bread. They put garlic butter on them and they are so good warm

  8. I'd baptise these with some sourdough starter. Better on the tummy.

    Some cheese mixed in would be good, too! Or nutritional yeast for a vegan option for a cheese flavor.

    Maybe roll them flat and cut into cracker shapes. Poke hole with a fork before baking so they stay flat.

    Holding hands, you two are sweet!❤

    God bless you in 2025!

  9. I love watching you two! This is great fun! Looking forward to trying this recipe. Can cold butter be substituted or anything else? I don't purchase lard. Thank you!

  10. I'm gonna try these,I think the kiddos would like the cinnamon sugar twist…gonna also brush some with garlic butter and try that…seasonings? you can really add a lot of different ones to those can't you…
    Thanks for the video

  11. Always love your videos. I have a QUESTION that has nothing to do with this. At your suggestion, I switched to using Redmond Sea Salt. My son asked me about the fact that it has no Iodide in it, which is important to our diets. Do you take supplements for your Iodide intake, or what? Thanks

  12. After watching your video it makes me realize why I keep coming back time after time. I find you (and Jim) not only informative but also entertaining in a way that just gives me that "feel good" feeling and gives me the desire to try out what Pam's doing. Thank you for all your expert advice and just plain making my day. Happy New Year to you both!! I will make some of these later in the week when we put a bunch of leftovers together to make a hearty soup or stew.

  13. Holding hands on camera?🫨 Scandalous!😳
    Keep it up! Y'all are adorable and I love watching you have fun.
    As for the bread sticks, both versions look good, but cheese is sadly missing! Maybe roll them in Parmesan cheese/Italian seasoning blend to serve with spaghetti or lasagna. I like the idea of the orange zest/sugar blend, but be sure to have some "glaze" to dip them in.
    Thanks for a fun video!

  14. Oohhh … I just had a thought ( don't worry, I'm OK). Before twisting them, brush with oil on both sides and roll in corn meal. Serve with chili or beans.😋

  16. Did you all know Dwarf and semi-dwarf wheat varieties make up over 99% of the wheat grown worldwide.

    Dwarf wheat is a result of the introduction of dwarf genes, which was a key part of the Green Revolution in the 1960s. The dwarf genes, Rht-B1b (Rht1) and Rht-D1b (Rht2), were derived from the Japanese variety "Norin 10"
    You should also be aware of how damaging it is to your long term health!

  17. What a fun recipe. I would think before twisting these maybe sprinkle them with the cinnamon sugar or orange sugar would be better. Less waste that way and it coulf be pressed into the dough a bit so it holds on too.
    Another savory one would be rosemary garlic. Use plive oil infused with garlic and bits of rosemary incorporated into the dough. Finely grated parmesan cheese would be good too.

    I noticed the dough springing back when you were working with it. It might be good to let ot test so it relaxes better.
    These are going in my reecipe box for sure.

  18. I will have to try these! You guys are just so damned cute! Thanks for trying these for us all!

  19. I also make bread sticks with a yeast dough but these twists (both savory and sweet) look great! I am working these twists into my menu for next week. I love recipes that I can use my food storage. Thank you!
