Bakery: Nutty Twists

Very buttery nutty twists with the extra ingredient of cottage cheese. Easy to make, the list of things to buy is not so long, pretty quick to bake too. Just perfect for the nutty season that has already begun. I baked the twists with walnuts, but I suppose they would taste perfectly well with hazelnuts as well as peanuts, altough each time the flavour would obviously vary. There is a lot of butter in the twists, and I suppose next time I would add a little less of it. The Polish recipe can be found here, and in English here. When using the English recipe, notice the slight differences, namely the addition of butter is significantly smaller, and in the Polish recipe there is a sign of well ground cottage cheese (like for a cheesecake) - around 1,5 glass of it (250 g). Take it into consideration while baking, although those small differences do not have a grave importance when it comes to the taste. Below, a quick manual with pictures.

How to make the twists: when you already have the dough rolled out, divide it into quarters, and then each of the quarters into four equal pieces. Each of the pieces roll from the wider end to the shorter, like a twist. If you'de like to have crescent rolls, you can turn the end of a twist a little bit.  

To obtain a nice looking golden color on the baked twists, spread a little whipped egg (with some milk) and sprinkle some sugar on top.
