Twist-Wrap Cinnamon Rolls 🥮
(Step-by-Step)

Makes: 10–12 rolls
Prep time: ~2 hours (includes rising)
Bake time: 20–25 minutes

Ingredients

( For the dough )

* 3¼ cups (400 g) all-purpose flour
* ¼ cup (50 g) sugar
* 2¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
* ¾ cup (180 ml) warm milk (not hot)
* ¼ cup (60 g) softened butter
* 1 egg
* ½ tsp salt

( For the cinnamon filling )

* ½ cup (115 g) softened butter
* ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar
* 1½ tbsp ground cinnamon

(Optional glaze)

* 1 cup powdered sugar
* 2–3 tbsp milk
* ½ tsp vanilla extract

Step 1: Prepare the dough

1. Warm the milk until it feels slightly warm to the touch.
2. Mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl.
3. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
4. Add softened butter, egg, and salt.
5. Gradually add flour while mixing.
6. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

(Texture check) The dough should feel soft and slightly tacky, not sticky.

Step 2: First rise

1. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl.
2. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap.
3. Let rise in a warm place for 60–90 minutes until doubled in size.

Step 3: Make the cinnamon filling

1. Mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
2. Stir until you get a spreadable paste.

Step 4: Roll and fill the dough

1. Punch down the risen dough.
2. Roll into a rectangle about:

* 16 × 12 inches (40 × 30 cm)
3. Spread cinnamon filling evenly over the surface, leaving a small border.

Step 5: Create the twist-wrap shape

1. Fold the dough rectangle in half lengthwise (like closing a book).
2. Gently press edges.
3. Cut into 10–12 strips.

For each strip:

1. Hold both ends.
2. Twist the strip several times.
3. Wrap the twisted strip around two fingers.
4. Tuck the end underneath to create a wrapped knot shape.

Place each twist on a parchment-lined baking tray.

Step 6: Second rise

1. Cover the shaped rolls loosely.
2. Let rise 25–35 minutes until puffy.

Step 7: Baking procedure

1. Preheat oven to **350°F (175°C)**.
2. Place tray on the center rack.
3. Bake for **20–25 minutes**.

Watch for:

* Golden-brown tops
* Slightly darker edges
* Internal temperature around **190°F (88°C)** if using a thermometer

If tops brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last 5–7 minutes.

Step 8: Add glaze and serve

1. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
2. Drizzle over warm (not very hot) rolls.

Serve warm for the softest texture. These also reheat well for about 10–15 seconds in a microwave.
