Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon active dry yeast; 1 cup warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0); 1 large egg, beaten; 1/4 cup butter, melted; 1/4 cup sugar; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour; 1 cup packed brown sugar; 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1/2 cup butter, softened; 2 cups confectioners' sugar; 4 to 5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Servings: persons

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
4 to 5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine the egg, melted butter, sugar, salt, yeast mixture and 1-1/2 cups flour; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes or until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
3
Punch dough down. Divide in half. Roll each portion into a 12-in. square. Spread each with softened butter; sprinkle with brown sugar mixture. Fold each square into thirds. Cut widthwise into 1-in.-wide strips. Twist each strip 2-3 times and place in two greased 13x9-in. baking dishes. Cover and let rise until almost doubled.
4
Bake at 350u00b0 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over twists.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
