2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the butter nut spread with Nutella. The butter nut twists were still delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and the butter nut twists turned out perfect. They were golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet pastries, but these butter nut twists were surprisingly delicious. The filling was just the right amount of sweetness and the pastry was flaky and buttery.
