Cinnamon Twists

• FOR THE TWISTS:
• 5-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour (possibly Up To 6 Cups), Divided Use
• 1/2 cups Sugar
• 2 packages (1/4 Oz. Each) Rapid-rise Yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk
• 1/2 cups Water
• 1/2 cups Butter Or Margarine, Divided
• 2 whole Eggs
• 1 cup ( Generous) Raisins Or Chopped Dates
• 2/3 cups Firmly Packed Light Brown Sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• FOR THE GLAZE:
• 1 cup Confectioners Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon To 2 Tablespoons Of Milk

1. In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat milk, water and 1/4 cup of butter until warm (120-130 degrees).
2. Gradually add milk mixture to dry ingredients; beat for 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer. Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes on high speed. With a spoon, stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes. Cover; let dough rest for 10 minutes.
4. Knead raisins into dough.
5. Roll dough into a 24x12-inch rectangle.
6. Melt remaining 1/4 cup butter; brush over dough.
7. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle over dough. Fold dough in half lengthwise; rectangle should measure 24x6-inches.
8. Cut crosswise into 24 (1") strips. Twist each strip twice. Place strips on 2 or 3 large greased cookie sheets. Cover; let rise in a warm place 30-45 minutes, or until doubled.
9. Uncover; bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately brush lightly with melted butter. Remove from sheets to wire racks; cool completely.
10. Drizzle with glaze: In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and milk, adding milk a little at a time until glaze is desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle over twists. Makes 24.
