Cinnamon Twists

By srumbel

today I’m sharing the recipe for these delicious Cinnamon Twists, which are just part of my complete menu of recipes in this issue. These are so easy to make when you start with a boxed pizza crust mix. We love to serve them with our homemade pizza.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Dash salt
• 1 (6.5-ounce) box Jiffy Pizza Crust Mix, whisked
• 1/2 cup warm water (80° to 90°)
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon orange juice or vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

2.In a small bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, and salt; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine pizza crust mix and 1/2 cup warm water; stir until a soft dough forms. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. (Dough will be sticky.)

3.Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 2 to 3 times. Using floured hands, press dough into an 8x4-inch rectangle. Brush dough with melted butter; sprinkle with half of cinnamon mixture. Cut dough lengthwise into 8 strips.

4.Fold 1 dough strip in half and press ends together; twist into a 6-inch rope. Place rope on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough strips, placing ropes 1 inch apart.

5.Bake until lightly browned, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

6.In a small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar, cream, and orange juice or extract; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cinnamon twists; sprinkle with remaining cinnamon mixture.
