Ingredients
For the Breadtwists:
- 1 can refrigerated crescent dough 🥐
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 🌿
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 🧈
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 🍂
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional) 🥜
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar 🍥
- 2 tablespoons milk 🥛
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌺
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface and press the seams together to form a single sheet.
Step 2: Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Brush the melted butter over the dough, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
Step 3: Shape the Twists
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the dough into strips (about 1 inch wide). Fold each strip in half lengthwise and twist gently to create a spiral shape. Arrange the twists on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Sprinkle with Brown Sugar and Pecans
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the twists. If using pecans, add a few to each twist for a nutty crunch.
Step 5: Bake the Twists
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Step 6: Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
Step 7: Glaze and Serve
Drizzle the glaze over the warm twists. Serve immediately and enjoy the gooey, cinnamon goodness!
Notes
- Ensure the dough is well-sealed before twisting to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
- For extra caramelization, lightly press the brown sugar into the dough before twisting.
- These twists taste best fresh but can be reheated in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if needed.
