Copycat Domino’s Cinnamon Twists Recipe - Step By Step Guide
This copycat Domino's cinnamon twist recipe is as authentic as it will get! These twists are incredibly fluffy with that unique crunchy bite to them. And, as with the original treats, you can also serve these with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Ingredients
For the dough
- 2/3 cup water, lukewarm
- 1 1/2 tbsp milk, lukewarm
- 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp active yeast
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1 tsp fine salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the cinnamon topping
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Make The Dough
- First, bloom the yeast by combining it with water, milk, and sugar. Give the mixture a stir and leave it to sit for about 10 minutes. It will become foamy.
- While the yeast is activating, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Once the yeast has rested, slowly add the wet ingredient mixture to the flour mixture. You can also add the vegetable oil. Slowly and gently stir the ingredients together until a uniform dough starts to form.
- Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead it for roughly 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and uniform in consistency.
Shape The Cinnamon Twists
- Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each one into a log.
- Take a log and place it in front of you. Fold it into the shape of a rainbow. Then, take one end and place it across the other end, forming a ribbon shape.
- Gently press the center to secure the piece of dough together.
- Repeat this shaping process with the rest of the dough logs. As you finish, place them onto a lined baking sheet.
- Cover the twists with plastic wrap and allow them to proof at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Bake The Domino's Twists
- While the twists are proofing, preheat your oven to 400⁰F (204⁰C).
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter so that it is ready to use when you need it.
- Wait until the dough has fully rested and then brush them properly with melted butter. Finally, sprinkle over some cinnamon sugar.
- Then, give the twists another coating of melted butter and a final sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. This creates a layered sweetness and uber-crunchy texture.
- Bake the cinnamon ribbons for 17-20 minutes, or until their bottoms start to caramelize.
- Once baked, remove them from the oven, brush them with more melted butter, and give them another sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
- Serve these delicious sweet treats while they are still warm.
