Tips For Making Cinnamon Sugar Knots

• I use instant yeast in this recipe. If you would prefer to use active dry yeast, use an equal amount. Then, let it sit for 5-10 minutes or until foamy. Continue with the recipe as written.
• Be sure that the milk mixture isn’t too hot. If it’s too hot, it will kill the yeast, and the dough won’t rise. A kitchen thermometer is the best way to check the temperature. If you don’t have one, test the mixture by feeling it. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for the yeast.
• You can make this recipe without a stand mixer. Simply add 2 minutes to the kneading time. Also, you’ll want the dough to feel soft and slightly sticky but the dough shouldn’t come off on your fingers when pinched.
• I’ve tried to tie the knots and then dip them in butter and sugar, but it didn’t work as well that way.
