Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1½ cups warm water
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. yeast
  • 3½ cups flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 5 Tablespoons Butter (melted)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 4 ounce cream cheese (softened)
  • 3 Tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup half and half
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instruction

  • Mix warm water, sugar and yeast together. Let that sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add flour and salt to the water, sugar, and yeast. Mix this until smooth and let it raise for 10 minutes. I used my kitchenaid mixer with the dough hook and it was so easy and worked great!
  • Roll out the dough in a large square on a floured surface. Brush the dough with the melted butter. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle on top of the melted butter.
  • Fold the dough in half. Cut the dough into one inch strips. A pizza cutter worked great for me!
  • Twist the one inch strips of dough and place on a cookie sheet. Let that sit for another 10-15 minutes to raise.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. My oven took about 17 minutes for these to be lightly brown.
  • To make the cream cheese glaze, combine softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Mix until combined and smooth. Drizzle on top of the breadtwists.
