The Garlic Twist is an innovative kitchen garlic tool that is designed to replace the common but problem-prone garlic press. Note: if you let the dough rise in the fridge overnight, you can assemble them straight from the fridge but they may need to rise for a bit longer (since the dough will be quite cold). I mean, I have a knife, I have a press, everything was working just fine with my garlic preparation. Handy and simple to crush and peel garlic, sparing the unwanted smell you sometimes get lingering on your hands. And then add it to a floured surface and knead it a few more times until the dough is smooth and elastic.

There's a bit of disagreement about whether it's easy to get out of the masher at the end - I think this depends entirely on whether you follow the instructions or not. And use my detailed instructions, video tutorial, and step-by-step photos below to help with the shaping step. Whisk the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or paddle attachment. Then, fold the dough like a letter in thirds and cut it into 15 even strips, making sure the widest part of your letter is horizontal.

Rub a medium bowl with about a teaspoon of oil, (I used olive oil), and transfer the dough to the bowl. They mention that the teeth used to crush the garlic seem sturdy, and the lack of blades makes it a bit stoutier.

The back of this tool is perfectly designed to take the peel off your cloves effortlessly and the twist will quickly mince those cloves with ease. The dough can be a little too heavy for a mixer to knead it, but you can certainly use the mixer fitted with a dough hook on low speed instead.I used to use a nailbrush, but went off the technique after accidentally flicking little plugs of wet garlic into my eyes and mouth. Its paperweight heft is good for crushing cloves and, washing-up-wise, it’s unbeatable – a quick burst from the tap rinsing the chamber clean. If you don’t have instant yeast, you can use active dry yeast by adding the active dry yeast to the warm milk (don’t add the butter yet).

And be sure to wrap the bowl tightly with plastic wrap if letting it rise in the fridge overnight or else the dough could form a crust. They mention that it is really splendid, with no waste of garlic, it keeps the smell off their hands, and that it uses every single bit of the cloves. It is designed to replace the problem-prone garlic press or the tedious hand-mincing of garlic using a chef's knife. Make the filling for the rolls by mixing softened butter, garlic, parsley, and kosher salt together in a small bowl with a fork.If you’re not using the package of instant yeast and instead have a jar, you’ll be using 14 grams total of instant yeast. If you don’t have instant yeast, you can use active dry yeast by adding the active dry yeast to the warm milk and honey mixture (don’t add the butter yet). PLEASE NOTE: The Garlic Twist is available in an assortment of colours, and the colours may vary from those shown in the photos. You can seperate them to let it out, but this also loosens the join, which can cause the crusher to slip a little when crushing lots of cloves at once.

Using floured hands on a lightly floured work surface, shape the dough into a 16×5-inch (13x41cm) log. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.My old crusher was a pain to clean because it was constantly full of garlic remnants which were difficult to remove.
