Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat milk and 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat until warm but not hot (about 110°F/43°C).
Step 3
Pour the warm milk mixture into the flour mixture. Add the egg and mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 4
Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, a little at a time, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 12x18 inches.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter (softened), and ground cinnamon until smooth.
Step 9
Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Step 10
Fold the dough in half lengthwise to enclose the filling. Cut the dough into 8 strips.
Step 11
Twist each strip gently and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Leave about an inch of space between each twist.
Step 12
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown.
Step 13
Cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar (optional). Serve warm or at room temperature.
