Ingredients:

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)

1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Unroll the crescent dough and press the seams together to form a rectangle.

Brush the dough with melted butter.

In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.

Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, then slice into 12 equal pieces.

Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

While the breadtwists are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Drizzle the glaze over the warm breadtwists before serving.

... Read moreOkay, so you've just whipped up a batch of these heavenly cinnamon roll breadtwists – trust me, your kitchen smells absolutely incredible! I wanted to share a few extra tips and tricks I've picked up to make these crescent roll cinnamon sugar twists even more irresistible, and how to get the most out of your baking experience. First off, the secret to those perfectly golden, tender twists lies in not overbaking them. Keep a close eye on your oven around the 12-minute mark. You want them just golden brown, not dark. They'll continue to set a little as they cool, so pulling them out slightly early ensures they stay soft and gooey inside. For that amazing glaze, which makes these glazed cinnamon roll breadtwists truly shine, make sure your powdered sugar is lump-free before whisking it with milk and vanilla. A smooth, creamy glaze makes all the difference! One of my favorite things about this easy recipe is how versatile it is. While pecans are fantastic for an added crunch, if you're not a fan or have allergies, simply omit them! I've also experimented with a sprinkle of nutmeg or a pinch of cardamom in my ground cinnamon mixture (along with the granulated sugar) for an extra layer of warmth – it's divine. If you're feeling fancy, a cream cheese glaze instead of the simple powdered sugar one can elevate these to a whole new level. Just mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, a little milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. It’s like a mini cinnamon roll upgrade! For those searching for something like 'Brims Cinnamon Twists,' you'll find these homemade versions are even better because you can customize them! Want more cinnamon? Go for it! Prefer less sugar? Adjust to your taste. Using good quality refrigerated crescent dough really makes a difference in texture, giving you that flaky, buttery base that's so satisfying. These aren't just for breakfast! I love serving them warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for a quick, comforting dessert. They're also a huge hit at brunch gatherings. To keep them fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to enjoy them warm again, a quick 10-15 seconds in the microwave brings back that fresh-baked softness and melts the glaze just perfectly. Sometimes, when I'm rolling the dough, I make sure to press the seams together really well. This prevents any of the delicious cinnamon sugar filling from escaping. And when slicing, a sharp knife or even unflavored dental floss can help create clean, even cuts, making your glazed cinnamon roll breadtwists look as good as they taste. This simple crescent roll cinnamon sugar twists recipe is a game-changer for anyone craving a sweet, impressive treat without spending hours in the kitchen!
