Sweet Easy Treat

If you have preschool or early elementary age kids at your house or in your life and you're looking for a yummy treat that they can help you with, then check this out:

Cinnamon Sugar Bread Twists

Frozen white/wheat bread dough, thawed and risen
Melted butter

Cinnamon and Sugar mixed to your liking

Frosting: 1/4 c. butter, 1 c. powdered sugar, about 1-2 Tablespoons milk

I gave each kiddo 2 balls of the risen dough, each about an inch and a half in diameter. They rolled the dough balls into 2 ropes with their hands or on the table. Next, we brushed them with melted butter and tossed them in a bowl of the cinnamon sugar mixture. To make the twist we simply pinched the ends of the ropes together and twisted the dough by folding the dough on the left side over to the right side and repeating until we got the end and pinched those parts together. The twists went onto a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray and we let them rise (in our SUPER HOT classroom) for about 45 minutes. They baked at 350F for about 10-15 minutes, until the bread sprung back when poked. While they were still a little warm I mixed up the butter and powdered sugar, then added the milk until the frosting was thin enough to brush on with a pastry brush. We shared these treats with the kids' families on their attendance day celebration, and they were a hit!
