Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in flour until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise for 1 hour.
Make the Filling
- In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter until well combined.
Shape the Twists
- Preheat the oven to 375?F (190?C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.
- Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough. Cut the dough into strips and twist each strip.
- Place the twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let rise for another 15 minutes.
Bake and Ice
- Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- While baking, prepare the cream cheese icing by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Once the twists are baked, drizzle the cream cheese icing over them while they are still warm.
