Honey Twists
- 3/4 cup regular oats
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup warm water (100u0b0 to 110u0b0)
- 2 3/4 cups bread flour, divided
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 large egg white
- Combine oats and boiling water in a bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in milk, honey, salt, and oil.
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in oat mixture. Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 2 1/2 cups bread flour, whole-wheat flour, and cornmeal, and gradually add to yeast mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
- Place the dough in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover; let rise in a warm place (85u0b0), free from drafts, for 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; let rest 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0.
- Divide dough into 18 equal portions. Roll into 18 (10-inch-long) strips; fold in half from end to end. Pick up both ends of each strip; twist. Pinch ends together to seal. Place twists 1/2 inch apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; let rise 30 minutes. Combine 1 tablespoon water and egg white; brush over twists. Bake at 375u0b0 for 12 minutes. Serve warm.
