For the dough:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp instant yeast
  • ¾ cup warm milk (110°F) 🥛
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted 🧈

  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk 🥛
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. 🌡️

2️⃣ Add melted butter, salt, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms, then knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size. ⏳

3️⃣ Make the cinnamon filling: Mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl until combined. 🥄

4️⃣ Roll out the dough into a 12×10-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over half of the dough. 🍂

5️⃣ Fold the dough in half over the filling and gently press down. Cut into 1-inch strips and twist each one. 🌪️

6️⃣ Place the twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rest for 15 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). 🔥

7️⃣ Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly. 🍞

8️⃣ Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over warm breadtwists and enjoy! 😍
