Cinnamon Twists

I made this cinnamon sticks and my family was happy with the recipe. They are pretty easy, but dirty a lot of dishes and take about two hours total. However, the actual "dough" (not the filling) is pretty bland. Next time (yes, I will try them again), I will probably ADD some cinnamon to the actual recipe along with some other sweet spices like a little bit of nutmeg. Thanks for the recipe!

I do find that the dough is somewhat bland, but otherwise this recipe is very fun to make. For a little more decorative look, I twisted them and stuck the loose ends together to make sort of "knots". I would also suggest, if you let them sit for a while, heating them up a bit before eating, it enhances the flavor and, in the twist style, it softens them up. I will definitely try this recipe again!

We love this recipe. We add sugar to the filling when adding the cinnamon and it tastes like a delicious cinnamon roll. We make this often and it will always be a favorite here. Great recipe!

These were very tasty! Unfortunately, I'm not very good at rolling out rectangles or twisting little shapes, so they look a little weird. Otherwise, it was very fun to make, and it was worth the time.

Oh YUM!! Made these late at night for a training class teh next day. Had to taste test! I added 1/2 t cinnamon and 1/4 t nutmeg to dough as someone suggested - perfect! And I didn't see that I was supposed to rise them a second time - but they still turned out GREAT! Will make them again for sure!

Very good recipe. I made these using the dough setting on my bread machine. I would agree that the dough needs a little something. I mixed 2 cups powdered sugar, ¼ cup milk, and ¼ tsp vanilla extract. This made a wonderful, light icing. This is a recipe I will definitely try again.

My family loves these! When I came across this recipe I was looking for something to duplicate my favorite restaurant cinnamon bread sticks. I followed the recipe ingredients for the actual bread stick, but instead of baking I fried the sticks in vegetable oil for a couple of minutes and then rolled them in a mixture of 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of white sugar, and about a tablespoon of cinnamon. Not exactly healthy, but they were delicious!!!

good, but not worth the effort

Yum! These tasted like little cinnamon rolls.

Great! And my daughter liked to gnaw on them, too!

As a bread/bun maker myself I was surprised and disappointed in the instructions, perhaps it's just an oversight but usually you indicate to users that the yeast should be prepared as per package directions or that you should add sugar to get the yeast activated. We made this exactly as directed and the dough did not rise. so wasting an hour I made up a 2nd batch of yeast and then I worked it in with extra flour. I do think it's a good tasting treat.

Made this recipe as written and ran into a few problems. One, the dough didn't rise in an hour. So I placed the dough on my pellet stove and it doubled in about an hour. That's two hours into the recipe. Finished the recipe and surprise!, the dough didn't rise very well in he 30 minutes. Baked them anyway. They turn out ok. Next time I'll add more spices to the dough, follow instructions on the yeast packet, and have an icing dip ready.

Honestly I thought these were just OK. As other reviewers said the dough is a bit bland. I made an icing to go on top and that helped. Followed the directions exact. Just OK for me.

These things were AWESOME!! My husband LOVES these and also suggested using the dough for pizza. He added more salt and less sugar, and ya know what? doubles as a good pizza crust too. IF you like fluffy crust on your pizza.

Just right! I adapted it for my breadmaker by putting in wet ingredients first, then dry. Saved me some time! Not sure I twisted just right, make circles of a few for fun - but loved the recipe - simple sweet cinnamon - can't be beat!
