These treats have a delicate spicy flavor. It's a good thing the recipe makes a big batch, because you can't eat just one!

1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast

3/4 cup warm water (110 to 115*F / 45*C ), divided use

4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/2 cup warm milk (110 to 115*F / 45*C )

1/4 cup butter, softened

1 large egg

Filling:

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1. In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, milk, butter, egg and remaining water; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes with electric mixer. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch down.
3. Roll into a 16 x 12-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over butter. Let dough rest 6 minutes.
4. Cut lengthwise into three 16 x 4 x 1-inch pieces. Twist and place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
5. Bake at 350*F (175*C) for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Makes about 4 dozen twists.
