For the Dough

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Cinnamon Twists Recipe
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warmed milk, sugar, and fresh yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Once the yeast mixture is foamy, add in the all-purpose flour, salt, melted butter, and an egg. Mix until the dough comes together, then knead it on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes.
  3. After the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle, about ½ inch thick.
  4. Cover the twisted dough pieces with a clean kitchen towel and allow them to rise for about 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the shaped twists are rising. Brush the tops of each twist with an egg wash.
  6. Remove the Sweet Cinnamon Twists from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
