Description
Heavenly Cinnamon Roll Breadtwists are a quick and delicious pastry made with crescent dough, cinnamon-sugar, and a vanilla glaze. They’re gooey, flaky, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
Ingredients
- 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)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk (whole or plant-based)
- ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll crescent dough and press seams together to form a rectangle.
- Brush dough with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
- Slice dough into 6 strips, twist each into a spiral, and place on baking sheet.
- Sprinkle remaining cinnamon-sugar and pecans (if using) on top.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden and puffed.
- Cool for 3–5 minutes. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla into a glaze, then drizzle over warm breadtwists.
- Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- Use seamless crescent dough sheets if available for easier handling.
- Cool twists slightly before glazing to avoid melting the icing.
- For a nut-free version, skip pecans or swap with chocolate chips.
- These taste best fresh but can be reheated easily.
