Heavenly Cinnamon Roll Breadtwists

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the dough into a rectangle.
  3. Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface.
  4. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it generously over the butter.
  5. Fold the dough in half lengthwise and gently press to seal.
  6. Slice into 1-inch-wide strips.
  7. Twist each strip several times and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden and puffed.
  9. Whisk the glaze ingredients until smooth, then drizzle over the warm breadtwists.

Variations

  • Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese under the cinnamon sugar for extra richness.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for deeper spice.
  • Swap brown sugar for maple sugar to add a rustic maple flavor.
  • Add mini chocolate chips for a fun dessert twist.

Tips

  • Twist gently but firmly—tighter twists create more defined spirals.
  • Don’t overbake; pull them as soon as the edges turn golden for the softest texture.
  • Drizzle glaze while warm for a melt-in effect, or cool completely for defined lines.
  • Serve fresh—these breadtwists are at their best warm from the oven.
