Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 1 Egg (large)
- 0.5 cups Butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (extra for cinnamon flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Chopped fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Dissolve the instant yeast in the warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add the yeast mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Knead the mixture into a soft dough, either by hand or with a stand mixer using a dough hook, for 8-10 minutes. The dough should be smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 7 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and set aside under a damp towel to prevent drying.
Prepare the 7 flavor spreads by mixing the softened butter with the respective flavor combinations:
- Garlic Butter: Mix 1 teaspoon minced garlic and 1 teaspoon chopped parsley.
- Parmesan Butter: Mix 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
- Cinnamon Sugar Butter: Mix 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Paprika Butter: Mix 0.5 teaspoon paprika.
- Sesame Butter: Mix 1 teaspoon sesame seeds.
- Dill Butter: Mix 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill.
- Spicy Butter: Mix 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
Roll out each dough ball into a 10-inch rope. Flatten slightly and spread one of the prepared flavored butters onto the surface of the dough.
Fold the dough lengthwise over the butter and twist gently to seal the flavors inside. Place the twists onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
Serve warm and enjoy your 7 flavorful butter twists!
