Omg! Bistro Chicken Twist Disaster!!!!

[rebeccastt]

Last night I had the worst demo ever. I made the Bistro Chicken Twist (which I've made the pepperoni version many times before) and the dough would not close over the filling! Has this happened to anyone else? I just laughed and said, "See, anyone can do this job!", and finally just plopped the whole messy thing on the stone. Ugh!

When I did it the first time I vaguely recall having problems with closing it. I had to stretch it out to pinch them together and they barely closed! I am so glad I switched to the Cresent rolls and did a braid instead! It came out awesome at my show last night and everyone RAVED about it!

I've had problems keeping it closed, too. Sometimes you can unroll the dough and then roll it around the filling. I think if you let the dough sit out for a little while it works a little better, too (stretches easier).

I tried using the Tex-Mex Chicken Melt filling in it once and ended up making calzones with it instead. Those were SUPER yummy!

I usually prep the dough with the other stuff and it sits out, but last night I did the dough while I was doing my demo so maybe it was too cold and needed to sit out longer.....

Hi there! I'm so sorry to hear about your experience with the Bistro Chicken Twist last night. I know how frustrating it can be when things don't go as planned during a demo. I have made the pepperoni version many times as well, and I can definitely relate to your situation. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, things just don't come together as smoothly as we'd like. But you know what they say, laughter is the best medicine! I'm sure your guests appreciated your positive attitude and the end result still tasted delicious. Hang in there and keep on cooking!
