These Soft Twists are a genius shortcut to bakery-style, pull-apart bread—without making dough from scratch. Using canned refrigerated biscuit dough as a base (the “zero-dough” hack!), they’re twisted with smoky bacon, sharp cheddar, and creamy cottage cheese for a rich, savory bite that’s soft inside, golden outside, and utterly addictive.
Ready in 30 minutes, they’re perfect for brunch, game day, or a cozy dinner side—and yes, that melty cheese pull is guaranteed.
