Ingredients:
Dough:- 2/3 cup of water
- 5-6 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup of butter, in small pieces
- 2 pkg. of active dry yeastFilling:
- 3/4 cup of white sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamonIcing:
- 1 cup ofpowdered sugar
- 1 of tablespoon milk
- 1/2 of teaspoon vanillaInstructions:
1. First we will start with the dough. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, and the sugar, salt, and yeast.2. Combine milk, water, and butter, and heat in a small saucepan until warm.
3. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, and mix together. Add eggs and enough flour to make a soft but kneadable dough.
4. On a lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place dough back in bowl, cover with a wet tea towel, and let rest for 20 minutes.
5. Combine 3/4 cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and melt several tablespoons of butter.
6. After 20 minutes, divide dough in half. Roll out each half into a 12 inch square. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle center third of each square with 3 tablespoons of the sugar mixture. Fold one third over center third. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of the sugar mixture. Fold remaining third over the two layers. Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide. Take hold of each end of strip and twist tightly in opposite directions. Arrange in two greased 9-inch square pans. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 24 hours.
7. When ready to bake, heat oven to 350F. Uncover dough and let stand at room temperature 10-20 minutes. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until browned.
8. Combine icing ingredients, and drizzle over top of the twists.
Makes about 20 cinnamon twists.
Valerie; Yes, you want to cut them into strips.
Wanting to make these, but confused with the cutting part? Do you completely cut all the way through the dough so that they are not in lots of seperate peices?
going to try this today, fingers crossed
Got these all prepared last night, baked them this morning to take to a friends’ house. They turned out great!!! Once I get the steps all figured out it was easy peasy. Especially with the dough hook on my kitchen aid mixer! Thanks again for another great recipe!
ok thanks i thought that was what you meant just wasnt to sure my husband tried to read the instructions and he didnt understand any of it typical for men!
Alyssa:
1. Divide your dough in half.
2. Roll out each half into a 12 inch square, so you have 2 x 12 inch squares.
3. Brush both squares with melted butter.
4. Sprinkle the center of each square with 3 tablespoons of the sugar mixture.
5. One square at a time, fold the left side on top of the sugar mixture middle. Then, fold the right side on top of that. (If you look at the dough from the end, you will see 3 layers of dough now.)
6. Do the second square the same way.
7. Cut dough into strips about 1 inch wide and swist each strip lightly.
8. Arrange all of your strips into 2 x 9-inch baking pans.
