Cinnamon Twists

Pin It

For this you will need:

Dough

2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 pkg Yeast
1 Cup Warm Water
1 Tablespoon Sugar
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Cinnamon

            1 stick butter (1/2 cup) Divided

            2 tablespoons Cinnamon

            1 teaspoon nutmeg

            ¼ teaspoon cloves

            ½ cup sugar

Non Stick Spray

Start by Measuring out the 1 cup warm water in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the Sugar into the warm water then add the Yeast. Stir a little to let water cover all of the yeast. Let this rest for about 10 minutes until foamy.  Now add the Oil and Then flour. Mix with a fork scrapping the sides of the bowl.  Knead the dough about 12-15 times. Cover with a warm damp towel.  Let rise for about 30 minutes, until double in size.

On a lightly floured surface punch out the dough and knead again about 5-10 times.

Cut your dough in half.  Cove one half and with the other roll out your dough into a rectangle shape.

Mix together in a small bowl the Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cloves and Sugar.

Melt ½ the stick of butter. With the other half keep at room temp and knead until pliable.

Rub the pliable butter across the rolled out dough to well coat the top of the dough.

Cut the dough into 8 pieces or more depending on the thickness desired.

Sprinkle some of your sugar mixture onto the dough to lightly coat the dough.

Fold over each piece so that no sugar is showing. 

Take each end of your folded piece and twist the dough. 

Once twisted roll in the melted butter and then roll in the sugar mixture to coat the twist.

Spray your pan (for a softer twist use a glass pan, otherwise a cookie sheet will do fine.)
