🥖 Heavenly Cinnamon Roll Breadtwists
📋 Ingredients
For the Dough:
-
1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
-
2¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
1 large egg
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
3 to 3½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp salt
For the Filling:
-
½ cup unsalted butter, very soft or melted
-
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
-
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
For the Glaze:
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
1–2 tbsp milk
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
🧑🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Dough:
-
In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
-
Add the egg, melted butter, and salt. Mix well.
-
Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
-
Knead for about 5–8 minutes (by hand or mixer) until the dough is smooth and elastic.
-
Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Filling:
-
Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
3. Assemble the Twists:
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 12×16 inches).
-
Spread the softened or melted butter over the dough.
-
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
-
Fold the dough in half lengthwise (like a book), gently press down, then cut into 1-inch strips.
-
Twist each strip several times and place them on the baking sheet.
-
Optional: Brush tops with a little melted butter for extra richness.
4. Bake:
-
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Glaze:
-
Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm breadtwists.
💡 Tips:
-
For extra indulgence, add a cream cheese glaze instead.
-
These are best served warm and fresh out of the oven.
-
Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the filling for a twist (pun intended!).
