ITALIAN CHEESE TWISTS 
1/4 c. soft butter
1/4 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. crushed marjoram
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 (16 oz.) loaf frozen bread dough, thawed but not risen
3/4 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese (3 oz.)
1 slightly beaten egg
1 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. sesame seed

In a small bowl combine butter, basil, oregano, marjoram, and garlic powder. Set aside. On lightly floured surface roll bread dough into a 12 inch square. 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) strips. Twist each strip twice and pinch ends to seal. Place about 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Cover, let rise in a warm place until almost double (about 30 minutes). Combine egg and water. Brush over each twist. Sprinkle with sesame seed. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
