These are fluffy, light, soft, giant cinnamon twists (cinnamon rolls) that have a gooey, nutty, to-die-for filling. These are made with any type of hot roll mix, but check the one on my food page, titled Hot Roll Mix. Read more I think it's great for these rolls. See less

How to make it
- In a cup, dissolve yeast and sugar in water.
- Set aside.
- Bring buttermilk to a boil, so that it curdles.
- Add baking soda and 1/4 C melted butter to buttermilk.
- (Watch out, this expands quite a bit...make sure you have room)
- Add eggs.
- When mixture is luke-warm, add dissolved yeast mixture.
- In your mixing bowl, add 4 C hot roll mix.
- Add the buttermilk/yeast mixture to the flour in the mixing bowl.
- Mix with a bread hook, until it forms a soft ball.
- You can keep adding hot roll mix until it becomes less sticky.
- You will probably add 5 to 6 C hot roll mix, total.
- Knead for 5 minutes on medium speed with your bread hook.
- If you don't have a mixer with a bread hook, turn the dough out onto
- a floured board and knead by hand for 5 minutes.
- Place dough ball in a bowl, sprayed with non stick spray and cover.
- Spray the top of the dough ball.
- Let it raise for an hour or so, until it doubles in size.
- Punch down dough and turn out onto a floured surface.
- Grease two baking sheets.
- Combine ingredients for cinnamon filling.
- Roll out dough to 12 inches by 10 inches (rectangle).
- Cover 1/2 of the dough (lengthwise) with cinnamon/nut mixture.
- Fold dough in half, sealing the edges.
- Cut into 18 strips, horizontally.
- Twist each strip twice and place one inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Spray the tops of the rolls with non stick spray.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled (30 - 40 mins)
- Bake 10 to 12 mins at 375 degrees F (190 C).
