🥐 Heavenly Cinnamon Roll Breadtwists 🍯
Ingredients
(Makes 6 servings)
For the Breadtwists:
1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent dough
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup chopped pecans (optional, for crunch)
For the Vanilla Glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk (whole or plant-based)
¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Prep and preheat
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.
Form the dough base
Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface. Gently press together the perforated seams to create one solid rectangle of dough.
Add butter and filling
Brush the entire surface evenly with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the buttered dough, covering it edge to edge.
Cut and twist
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough lengthwise into six 1-inch-wide strips. Take each strip and gently twist it from end to end to form a spiral. Place the twisted strips onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Add finishing touches
Sprinkle the tops with any remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture and scatter chopped pecans over each twist (if using).
Bake to golden perfection
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown. The sugars will caramelize slightly, creating a soft, sticky glaze of their own.
Cool briefly, then glaze
Let the breadtwists cool on the pan for 3–5 minutes—just long enough so the glaze won’t melt off. Meanwhile, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the warm twists.
Serve immediately
Enjoy while warm for the ultimate gooey, flaky experience. Pair with coffee, tea, or a cold glass of milk.
