Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.75 cups Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for filling)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (optional for icing)
- 1 tablespoon Milk (optional for icing)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional for icing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Add the yeast mixture and the egg to the flour mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to form a 12x10-inch rectangle.
Brush the melted butter over the dough surface.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Fold the dough in half lengthwise (so it forms a 12x5-inch rectangle). Gently press to seal.
Cut the dough into 24 thin strips (about ½ inch wide). Twist each strip several times and place the twists on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover the twists with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for 20-25 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the cinnamon twists in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the twists cool slightly on a wire rack.
If desired, make an icing by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the cooled twists before serving.
To freeze for OAMC, place the baked and cooled cinnamon twists on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes when ready to serve.
