Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, active dry yeast, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

  2. 2

    Heat Milk and Butter

    In a small saucepan, heat the milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Let it cool slightly until warm but not hot.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the warm milk and butter mixture, then mix well.

  4. 4

    Make the Dough

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Filling

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

  2. 7

    Melt Butter

    In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter for the filling. Allow to cool slightly.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick).

  2. 9

    Apply Filling

    Brush the melted butter over the dough and sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the top.

  3. 10

    Cut and Twist

    Cut the dough into strips (about 2 inches wide) and then cut each strip into halves. Twist each strip and place them in a greased baking dish.

  4. 11

    Let Rise Again

    Cover the baking dish with a towel and let the twists rise for another 30 minutes.

Baking

  1. 12

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 13

    Bake the Twists

    Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Icing and Serving

  1. 14

    Prepare Icing

    In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and drizzle-able.

  2. 15

    Drizzle Icing

    Once the twists are out of the oven, let them cool slightly and then drizzle the icing over the warm twists.

  3. 16

    Add Sprinkles

    Top with rainbow sprinkles while the icing is still wet for better adhesion.

  4. 17

    Serve

    Serve the Party Twists warm, and enjoy!
