MAPLE-NUT COFFEE TWIST

This recipe is from Pillsbury Family Kitchens Cookbook. This is really delicous and makes a nice presentation. The dough is really easy to work with. I did need to add a couple more Tbsps of flour to the dough. This calls for a 12-inch pizza pan, but I'm sure a large cookie sheet would work just fine. :)

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and prepped. This helps streamline the baking process.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use quality, fresh ingredients for optimal flavor. Fresh nuts and pure maple syrup yield the best results.
  • Properly Measure Flour: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure flour for consistent results. Avoid scooping directly from the bag, as this can result in too much flour, leading to a dense texture.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Mix the dough until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough, chewy texture.
  • Correctly Roll the Dough: Roll out the dough evenly and consistently to ensure even baking.
  • Use Plenty of Filling: Be generous with the filling. The combination of nuts, brown sugar, and spices gives these twists their irresistible flavor.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before cutting and baking helps it hold its shape and prevents spreading.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the twists at the specified temperature to ensure they cook evenly and develop a beautiful golden-brown color.
