For the dough

2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of yeast
1 cup of water
1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of sugar

Filling:
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon cinnamon (you can add more)
3/4 cup brown sugar


Start by dissolving yeast with a quarter of a cup filled water, poured into a small bowl. Take another bowl, and while you let the yeast rest Mix the flour, salt, and sugar slowly add the yeast mixture and remaining 3/4 cup of water. Should form a workable dough, once it's smooth let it rise in a buttered bow (place in warm area for about an hour).

Cut dough in half, roll out a circle. Spread filling around the dough leave 1/2 inch from the edge with nothing all the way around. Roll out the other half parchment paper helps with this step, flip it onto your other circle.

Cut strips leaving the center intact, and twist the strips, here's the great picture the website I found the recipe on, used to demonstrate.

Once done cover and let rise for 20 minutes, while your oven is preheating to 350 degrees. If you'd like you can use an egg wash here, or I just coated it in butter. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees, then turn oven up to 425 for 5 minutes.

    Totally drooling at this. Seems like a lot of work for me though and I'd probably eat the whole thing.

    It sounds like more work than it is. It's a basic dough which I will probably change next time, but this one is pretty forgiving. Hardest part is twisting the stupid tails. But it's delicious and I love how it looks so will be making lots for the holidays
