Ingredients:
For the Dough:
✅ 1 cup warm water (110°F) 🥤
✅ 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet) 🌟
✅ 2 tbsp granulated sugar 🍬
✅ 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
✅ 1/2 tsp salt 🧂
✅ 2 tbsp olive oil 🫒
For the Cinnamon Topping:
✅ 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
✅ 1/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
✅ 1 tbsp ground cinnamon 🌿
For the Icing:
✅ 1 cup powdered sugar 🍬
✅ 2-3 tbsp milk 🥛
✅ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 🌼
Directions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add 2 1/2 cups of flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour.
Knead the Dough:
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll Out the Dough:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 1/2 inch thick).
Cut and Shape:
Cut the dough into strips (about 1 inch wide) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. You can twist the strips for a fun shape if desired.
Add Cinnamon Topping:
Brush the melted butter over the dough strips. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it evenly over the dough.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Prepare the Icing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
Serve:
Once the cinnamon sticks are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the icing over the top and enjoy!
