It's easy to see why my family loves this sweet and satisfying staple during the holidays. Packed with warm cinnamon and brown sugar, everyone is a fan of this light and tender bread. —Brynn Rader, Olympia, Washington

Maple Nut Twist Recipe

Prep: 55 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 16 Servings

55 20 75

Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) hot roll mix
3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup warm water (120° to 130°)
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
FILLING:
1-1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 teaspoons maple flavoring
1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the contents of the roll mix and yeast packets with the sugar. Stir in the water, butter, egg and maple flavoring; mix well.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Combine the first five filling ingredients in a small bowl; set aside. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds.
Roll one portion of dough into a 12-in. circle; transfer to a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Brush with a third of the butter; sprinkle with a third of the filling. Repeat two times with the remaining dough, butter and filling, placing each circle of dough over the previous layer. Pinch outer edges to seal.
Place a small glass at the center of the dough. With scissors, cut from the outside edge to the glass to form 16 wedges. Remove glass; twist each wedge three times. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Uncover dough. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 16 servings.

The yeast is in the hot roll mix!!!!

So far I have made it twice and will make it again tomorrow (Christmas Eve) to take to may daughter's for Christmas morning. We think it is delicious. A little messy to make but pretty when it comes out of the oven. I don't keep yeast on hand so it is handy having it in the hot roll mix.
