Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
In a small saucepan, heat milk and 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat until warm but not hot (about 110°F/43°C).
Pour the warm milk mixture into the flour mixture. Add the egg and mix until a soft dough forms.
Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, a little at a time, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 12x18 inches.
In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter (softened), and ground cinnamon until smooth.
Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Fold the dough in half lengthwise to enclose the filling. Cut the dough into 8 strips.
Twist each strip gently and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Leave about an inch of space between each twist.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown.
Cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar (optional). Serve warm or at room temperature.
