Heavenly Cinnamon Roll Breadtwists

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy.
2. Add the melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
3. Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Filling

1. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3: Shape the Breadtwists

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle (approximately 12×18 inches).
3. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the surface of the dough.
4. Fold the dough in half lengthwise to enclose the filling.
5. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the folded dough into strips about 1 inch wide.
6. Twist each strip and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.

Step 4: Bake

1. Bake the bread twists for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Make the Glaze

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or sugar if needed.

Step 6: Glaze and Serve

1. Drizzle the warm bread twists with the glaze.
2. Serve immediately and enjoy the heavenly cinnamon-sugar aroma and flavor!
