Finally, the dough is twisted and baked into soft sweet cinnamon roll breadtwists. Here are all of the ingredients you will need. You can find the exact measurements in the recipe card below.

Cinnamon Roll Bread Twists Recipe Like other homemade bread dough recipes, these cinnamon roll breadtwists do require some preparation and time. But it’s SO worth the wait! However, this bread is easy to make, and the steps are very straightforward. It’s important to remember that the dough does need to be proofed, so plan ahead! Make the Dough Proof the Water, Yeast, and Sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer add the water, yeast, and sugar. Mix and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is frothy. Add the Butter, Flour, and Salt: Add in the butter, 3 cups of flour, and salt. Using the dough hook attachment, mix on low speed until the dough comes together, about 3-4 minutes. You may want to add more flour at this time, ¼ cup at a time. (I ended up adding an additional ¼ cup). The dough should just come clean from the sides. Rise the Dough: Place the dough into an oiled bowl and cover. Allow the dough to rest for 30-45 minutes until it is nearly doubled in size. Prepare the Cinnamon and Sugar Mixture: Prepare a sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a small bowl. In another bowl mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Shape the Cinnamon Roll Breadtwists Roll Into a Rectangle: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large 9×15 rectangle. About ¼-½ inch thick. Cut Into Strips: Take a pizza cutter and cut the dough into 12 equal strips. Take each strip and cut them in half lengthwise nearly to the end, but leaving the two pieces connected. Brush with Butter and Cinnamon/Sugar Mixture: Working one twist at a time, brush with the melted butter on both sides. Cover the buttered dough with the cinnamon sugar. Twist and Rise: Twist the two strips of dough together, securing the ends so they don’t come undone. Place the twists on the parchment-lined baking sheet and cover. Let the cinnamon twists rise for about 20 minutes. Bake Preheat the Oven: While the cinnamon roll breadtwists are rising, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake: Once the twists have nearly doubled in size, bake them for 15-20 minutes or until the twists are golden brown. Enjoy: Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes before enjoying them! Tips and Variations This recipe takes a little extra time, but everyone is going to be impressed! Follow my tips and variations below to make these cinnamon roll breadtwists a success. Yeast: There is a difference between Instant and Active dry yeast, but whichever one you have, proof both of them. Technically you do not have to prove the instant yeast, it does not require “activation” as active yeast does. But I like to “activate” my instant anyway. This way I know whether or not the yeast is good. If your yeast does not bubble and rise after 10 minutes, throw it out. It isn’t good anymore. Pizza Cutter: Using a pizza cutter works wonders when cutting the dough into strips. It glides right over the dough. Serve with a Sweet Dip: These cinnamon roll breadtwists are wonderful on their own but are even better when dipped in a sweet dip like Cannoli Dip or Marshmallow Cream Cheese Fruit Dip ! Leftover Cinnamon Roll Breadtwists Keep the completely cooled cinnamon roll breadtwists in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 days. I like to reheat them slightly in the microwave before enjoying them!
