Critical Success Points

  • Activating the yeast correctly (warm water, not hot).
  • Greasing hands with oil to prevent dough sticking and avoid extra flour.
  • Kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Shaping the twists without tearing the dough.
  • Baking until golden – underbaking leaves a pale crust, overbaking makes it dry.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • Do not use water hotter than 120°F (49°C) when activating yeast, as it can kill the yeast.
