Yield 24 twists

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pkg. dry yeast
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 c. warm water
1 c. buttermilk
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
4 to 5 cups Hot Roll Mix
Cinnamon Filling:
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. chopped nuts
Powdered Sugar Glaze:
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 Tbsp. butter
1 Tsp. hot water

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Set aside. bring buttermilk to a boil in a small saucepan; buttermilk should curdle. In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, baking soda, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Add eggs. When mixture is lukewarm, add dissolved yeast mixture. Gradually stir in 4 cups Hot Roll Mix until a soft dough forms a ball. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add additional mix if need to make a soft, but not too sticky dough. Lightly butter bowl. Put dough in bowl and turn to butter top. Cover dough with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Generously grease 2 baking sheets. Punch down dough and roll out to a 12x20 inch rectangle. Brush dough with 3 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle cinnamon filling lengthwise over half of dough to within 1/2 in of long edge. Fold rectangle in half lengthwise to cover filling. Seal dough edges with the edge of a plate. With a pizza cutter, cut dough into 24 strips, about 3/4 inch wide. Twist each strip twice and place strips 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 30-40 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 deg. Bake 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Brush on Powdered Sugar Glaze while rolls are still warm. Makes about 24 twists.

Tips:

  • Use active dry yeast for the best results. Make sure it's fresh and hasn't expired.
  • Warm the milk to 105-115°F (40-45°C). This will help the yeast to activate and proof properly.
  • Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten and make the rolls light and fluffy.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce gas, which will make the rolls light and airy.
  • Roll the dough out to a rectangle about 12x16 inches (30x40 cm). This will make it easy to cut the dough into strips.
  • Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. This will give the rolls a delicious flavor.
  • Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. This will make it easy to twist the rolls.
  • Twist the strips of dough and place them on a baking sheet. This will give the rolls their characteristic shape.
  • Let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce more gas, which will make the rolls even lighter and fluffier.
  • Bake the rolls at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. This will give the rolls a crispy exterior and a soft and fluffy interior.
