Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- ½ cup melted butter (plus more for brushing)
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Warm the milk until lukewarm, then combine it with yeast and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add melted butter and the frothy yeast mixture; stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Prepare the filling by mixing the remaining sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick; spread melted butter over it and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Cut strips of dough, twist them together gently, and place on parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- For icing, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk for desired consistency; drizzle over warm breadtwists.
