Peppermint Twists

Ingredients

• 12 Rhodes Yeast Dinner Rolls, thawed but still cold
• 1/2 cup coarsely crushed peppermint candy

Icing

• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk

Directions

1. Roll each roll into a 16-inch rope.

2. Roll each end in opposite directions about 3 or 4 times. Pick up and pinch ends together. The breadstick will twist.

3. Place on a large sprayed baking sheet. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let rise 30 minutes.
4. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F 10-15 minutes.
5. Combine icing ingredients and brush over warm twists. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy.

Baking notes

• For a larger candy cane twist, follow same directions except use two roll combine to make longer 32-inch rope. Then make a candy cane shape with dough.
• You can also use savory seasonings by brushing with butter then sprinkling with garlic salt or your favorite seasoning.
