Yummy and gooey, these cinnamon twists are sure to be a crowd favorite. Made with honey or raw sugar and whole wheat flour, they are not exactly healthy, but you could almost tell yourself they are.
4CupsWhole Wheat FlourI use prairie gold white wheat. If you have a courser wheat flour, you many want to mix half of it with white flour.

Instructions
Using a stand mixer, mix two cups of the flour, 2 tbs yeast, the sugar and the warm milk and water. Add the butter or oil, and salt along with the remaining flour. Mix until a soft dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead a bit more, then shape into a rectangle. Roll it out to 1/2" thickness. Spread the melted butter-sugar mixture over the dough. Either roll into cinnamon rolls or cut into strips to make twists. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the pan while still hot making sure to get all of the cinnamon filling. Drizzle with the powdered sugar glaze. Serve warm if possible...Enjoy!
