Quantity | Ingredient | |
---|---|---|
2 | packs | Yeast -- not instant |
½ | cup | Water |
1½ | teaspoon | Curry powder |
½ | teaspoon | Paprika |
⅛ | teaspoon | Cayenne pepper |
¼ | cup | Margarine |
¼ | cup | Sugar |
1¼ | teaspoon | Salt |
¾ | cup | Milk -- scald |
2 | larges | Eggs |
4 | cups | All-purpose flour |
2 | tablespoons | Cornstarch |
2 | cups | Cheddar cheese, shredded |
Directions
1. Sprinkle yeast into ½ cup warm water. Let stand 5 minutes to soften. 2. In a large mixing bowl combine curry powder, paprika, cayenne, margarine, sugar, salt and milk. (Scald milk by allowing to heat until bubbles appear around edges and top has a film on it. Do not boil.) Cool mixture to lukewarm. 3. Add egg yolks and yeast mixture. Gradually add flour to form a stiff dough, beating well after each addition. You can use a mixer set on medium speed until dough gets too stiff. Use a wooden spoon or a mixer that will handle heavy doughs to combine completely. You may not need all the flour.
4. Cover and let rise in warm place until light and doubled; about 45 minutes. 5. Beat egg whites with corn starch until stiff; fold in 1 cup cheese. Set aside. 6. Stir one cup cheese into the dough. Divide dough into 2 parts. Roll out on floured surface to about ⅛-inch thick. Cut with 3-½ inch cutter dipped into flour. Pinch each circle together across the middle. Gently twist the middle 2 times, keeping the sides of the circles round and flat. Place each 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Top each side with 1 level teaspoon of egg white mixture. 7. Let rise in warm place about 40 minutes or until light. 8. Bake in preheated 375-degree oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Yield: About 30 twists.
