How to Make Everything Spice Twists
Trust me, these come together faster than you’d think! Just follow these simple steps, and you’ll have golden, crispy twists ready to snack on in no time.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) – this gives it time to reach the perfect temperature while you prep.
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl – flour, salt, sugar, and that glorious everything spice blend. I like to whisk them together so everything’s evenly distributed.
- Add wet ingredients – pour in warm water and olive oil, then mix until a shaggy dough forms. Don’t worry if it looks messy at first!
- Knead for 2-3 minutes – just until smooth. Overworking makes tough twists, so stop when it comes together.
- Roll it out thin – about 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface gives the perfect crispness.
- Cut and twist – slice into 1/2-inch strips, then give each one a playful twist before placing on your baking sheet.
- Egg wash magic – brush each twist lightly (this gives that beautiful golden color) and bake for 15-20 minutes until crisp.
- Let them cool – I know it’s hard to wait, but this makes them extra crunchy!
Tips for Perfect Everything Spice Twists
- Roll dough between two sheets of parchment to prevent sticking without extra flour
- For extra flavor, sprinkle more everything spice on top after egg washing
- Space twists about 1 inch apart – they’ll puff slightly while baking
- Check at 15 minutes – ovens vary, and you want deep golden brown, not burnt!
Fun Twists on Our Favorite Everything Spice Recipe
Once you’ve mastered the basic version, try these delicious variations! My family goes crazy when I mix in 1/2 cup grated parmesan right into the dough – it adds this amazing salty richness. For Middle Eastern flair, swap the everything spice for za’atar (about 2 tbsp) and brush with garlic butter after baking. Craving smoky depth? Use 2 tsp smoked paprika + 1 tsp cumin instead of the original spice blend. The possibilities are endless!
Serving and Storing Everything Spice Twists
These twists taste amazing warm from the oven, but they’re just as good at room temperature with your favorite dips. I love serving them with hummus or a quick yogurt-dill sauce for parties. Store leftovers in an airtight container – they’ll stay crispy for up to a week! If they lose their crunch, just pop them back in a 350°F oven for 3-4 minutes to revive them. Pro tip: Double the batch and freeze half before baking – they’ll last a month, ready to bake straight from frozen!

FAQs About Everything Spice Twists
Can I freeze the dough?
Absolutely! Wrap it tightly in plastic and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before rolling and baking – it works like a charm for last-minute snacks.
What’s a substitute for everything spice?
No worries! Mix 2 tsp each sesame seeds and poppy seeds with 1 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, and coarse salt. Or try Trader Joe’s “Everything but the Bagel” seasoning if you’ve got it! For more information on spice blends, you can check out Spiceography.
Why did my twists turn out soft?
They likely needed more baking time or were too thick. Next time, roll the dough thinner (1/4 inch max) and bake until deeply golden – they crisp up as they cool!
Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes! Swap the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free blend. The texture will be slightly more delicate, but just as delicious.
