Tips & Variations

  • For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Use whole wheat or multigrain bread for a healthier twist.
  • If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the sugar in the filling or the cinnamon mix.
  • Serve with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.

Storage

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5-7 minutes to retain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.

How to Serve

A stack of ten cinnamon sugar-coated pastry rolls is placed on a white plate. Each roll is golden brown, crispy on the outside with a rough, crumbly texture due to the cinnamon sugar coating. Inside, a creamy white filling peeks out from the ends of several rolls. The rolls are piled in a pyramid shape, showing some layers where the spirals of the dough are visible. The plate rests on a white marbled surface with a red and white striped cloth beneath it, and a blurred red cloth with cinnamon sticks in the background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use different types of bread for this recipe?

Yes, white bread works best because of its softness and neutral flavor, but you can use whole wheat, brioche, or even gluten-free bread depending on your preference. Just make sure the slices are thin and soft enough to roll.

Can I prepare these roll ups ahead of time?

You can assemble the roll ups and keep them refrigerated for a few hours before baking. However, for the best texture and flavor, bake them fresh before serving.
