Cinnamon Twists (saturday august 20)

I was feeling like I wanted to cook something with flour yeast and cinnamon, this recipe was on the back of the dry yeast box.

2 sachets dry yeast (14g)
4 cups plain flour
1tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
300ml sour cream, warmed
1/4 cup warm milk
2 tablespoons melted butter (40ml)
an egg (lightly beaten it says- oops i didn't do that)

filling
2tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1tsp cinnamon

(also they give ingredients for icing but i didn't make icing)


1.mix dry ingredients , add sour cream, milk, butter and egg, mix well to form soft dough. knead for 10 min until smooth and elastic.


2.Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover, leave leave in a warm place to double in volume (approx 50 min). I put it in/over a sink of hot water

3.Knock down dough (punch in middle first)then knead for 1 min.

4. divide dough into 2 equal portions . roll each portion to a rectangle 30cmX30cm (sounds more like a square to me?) Combine all filling ingredients and mix well. spread filling over each portion.

5.Fold dough in half lengthwise. Slice into 12 X 2.5cm slices. twist each end in opposite directions. place on greased baking trays. Leave in warm place to double in size (approx 30 min)- I put one tray over the sink again , and the other in front of heater. I don't think they doubled in size, but they ended up turning out ok as far i as i could tell

6. bake at 180 c for 25 min. Cool on wire rack

(if you want to do the icing you beat 1 tbs butter and 1 cup of icing sugar until light and fluffy then beat in 1 tbs milk, some drops of vanilla , when cool ice and sprinkle with cinnamon )

I might make them smaller next time and use more fillings
