Just a little something yummy for you to try...
Cinnamon Twists
1 T active dry yeast
3/4 C warm water (divided)
4 to 4 1/2 C flour
1/4 C sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 C warm milk
1/4 C butter (softened)
1 egg
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, milk, butter, egg, and remaining water. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Filling:
1/4 C butter (melted)
1/2 C brown sugar
4 tsp cinnamon
Roll dough into a 16x12" rectangle. Brush with butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle over butter. Cut rectangle lengthwise into 3 16x4" strips. Cut each a strip into 16 4x1" pieces. Twist and place on greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes. Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with enough milk to make a thin icing. Brush on twists while still warm. Yield: 4 dozen.
Enjoy!
*These freeze well.... if you can get them into the freezer before they're all eaten.....
