Favorite Cinnamon Twists

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in ¼ cup warm water. Add 2 cups of flour, sugar, salt, milk, butter, egg and remaining water; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down. Roll into a 16×12inch rectangle. Brush with butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over butter. Let dough rest for 6 minutes. Cut lengthwise into three 16×4inch strips. Cut each strip into sixteen 4×1inch pieces.

Twist and place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350℉ (180℃) for 15 minutes or until golden.
