Description

These Cinnamon Twists are the perfect blend of soft, pillowy dough and warm, spiced sweetness. Made with a simple yeast dough that rises to airy perfection, they are brushed with melted butter and dusted with a rich mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon. The result is a tender pastry that is slightly crisp on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth soft within. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or as an afternoon snack with coffee, these twists bring a comforting, homemade feel to any table. They are easy to make with pantry staples and yield a generous batch, making them a favorite for sharing with family and friends. The aroma alone will fill your kitchen with cozy warmth.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water (110-115&# 194;°F).
  2. Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup softened butter, 1 egg, and the remaining warm water.
  3. Beat the mixture on medium speed for 2 minutes until combined.
  4. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
  7. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  8. Punch down the risen dough to release air bubbles.
  9. Roll the dough into a 16-inch by 12-inch rectangle.
  10. Brush the entire surface of the dough with melted butter.
  11. Combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and ground cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
  12. Let the dough rest for 6 minutes to relax the gluten.
  13. Cut the dough lengthwise into three 16-inch by 4-inch strips.
  14. Cut each strip into sixteen 4-inch by 1-inch pieces.
  15. Twist each piece gently and place on greased baking sheets.
  16. Cover and let rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  17. Bake at 350ðF (177ðC) for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
