35 15 50

Ingredients

3/4 cup water (70° to 80°)
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour
2-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
FILLING:
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
ICING:
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
5 to 7 tablespoons warm water

Directions

In a bread machine, place the first eight ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down; cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Combine filling ingredients; set aside.
Roll dough into a 24-in. x 8-in. rectangle. Spread filling to within 1/2 in. of edges. Fold rectangle in half lengthwise; cut widthwise into 24 pieces. Pinch seams to seal. Twist each piece three times.
Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets; pinch ends. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Combine the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter and enough water to reach desired consistency; drizzle over twists. Yield: 2 dozen.

Editor's Note: We recommend you do not use a bread machine's time-delay feature for this recipe.
