ITALIAN CHEESE TWISTS 
1/4 c. butter, softened
1/2 tsp. dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 (16 oz.) loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
Milk
1 tbsp. sesame seed

In a mixing bowl stir together butter, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Set aside. On a lightly floured surface roll bread dough into a 12 inch square. If dough is too elastic let rest 5-10 minutes. Spread butter mixture evenly over dough. Sprinkle with cheese. Fold dough into thirds.

With a sharp knife, cut dough crosswise into 24 (1/2 inch) wide strips. Twist each strip twice and pinch ends to seal. Place twists about 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Cover and chill for 6-24 hours. Before baking, brush a little milk over each twist. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
