This recipe is from an old Indiana church cookbook. Church cookbooks have always been a great source of good recipes! Does your church still have socials and 'pitch-in' meals? Folks have always seemed to enjoy church socials.
Basic Sweet Dough:
2 pkg yeast
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
5 to 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup shortening
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs
Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water; set aside. In a small pan, heat milk, shortening, sugar, and salt until warm (shortening does not need to melt). See below for addition for this recipe. Pour in large bowl; beat in 2 cups of flour until well mixed. Add the yeast mixture and eggs. Beat, scraping bowl. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead; add only enough flour to keep from sticking. Place in a greased bowl. Turn to grease top. Cover and let rise.
To make the twist:
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp maple flavoring
1/2 cup sugar
1 Basic Sweet Dough

Put 1 on a greased pizza pan; butter top, then sprinkle 1/3 of the nut mixture on top. Put another pizza shape dough on top of the butter and nuts. Repeat layering with nuts on top. Using a pizza cutter, cut like pie into 16 pieces. Pick up all 3 layers and twist 2 or 3 times. Do not let rise. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
