Copycat Domino’s Cinnamon Bread Twists

Domino’s Cinnamon Twists are a sweet and delicious dessert item offered by Domino’s Pizza. They are made from a dough similar to the garlic twists but are dusted with cinnamon and sugar instead of garlic seasoning.

The dough is twisted into a knot shape, baked (or air-fried) until golden brown, and then coated with a sweet topping made from ground cinnamon and granulated sugar.

Cinnamon Twists are served warm and can be ordered as a dessert item or a sweet meal addition. They are a popular treat for those with a sweet tooth and are often paired with a cold drink or coffee.

Dominos cinnamon twist recipe tips

  • Use a pizza cutter: A pizza cutter is an easy way to twist the dough into strips. Cut the dough into long strips and twist them into the desired shape.
  • Use melted butter: Before adding the cinnamon-sugar mixture, brush the twisted dough with melted butter. This will help the cinnamon-sugar mixture adhere to the dough and create a sweet buttery flavor.
  • Use parchment paper: Place the twisted dough on parchment paper in the air fryer basket. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the basket and make it easy to remove once cooked.
  • Sprinkle generously: Don’t be afraid to sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon and sugar on the twisted dough. This will give it a sweet and delicious flavor.
  • Air fry in batches: Depending on your air fryer basket size, you may need to cook the Cinnamon Bread Twists in batches to prevent overcrowding. Make sure to shake the basket occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve warm: Serve the Cinnamon Bread Twists warm, as they are best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer.

Dominos Cinnamon Twist Recipe Faqs

an I use store-bought pizza dough for this recipe? Yes, store-bought pizza dough works well for making cinnamon twists. It’s convenient and can yield great results. You can also use homemade pizza dough if you prefer.

How do I store leftovers? To store leftover cinnamon twists, place them in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.

Can I make these cinnamon twists ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the twists ahead of time. Assemble them as directed, and then cover and refrigerate them until ready to cook. When ready, cook them directly from the fridge, adding a minute or two to the cooking time if needed.

How do I adjust the recipe for a larger batch? To make a larger batch, simply double or triple the ingredients. Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook the twists in batches if necessary to ensure they cook evenly.

Can I use a different type of sugar or sweetener? You can substitute granulated sugar with other sweeteners like brown sugar or coconut sugar. Adjust the quantity to taste. If you’re using a sugar substitute, check the conversion ratio as some sweeteners are sweeter than regular sugar.

What can I use as a dip for the cinnamon twists? Cinnamon twists pair well with various dips. You can use icing, chocolate sauce, or caramel sauce for dipping. For a classic touch, try a simple vanilla glaze or cream cheese dip.

How do I know when the cinnamon twists are done? The cinnamon twists are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Check them frequently towards the end of the cooking time to avoid over-browning.
