Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10–12 slices bread
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (113 grams) butter, melted
Sweeteners:
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated white sugar
- 3 tablespoons (22 grams) powdered sugar
Spice:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Carefully remove the outer edges from each bread slice, creating a uniform base for rolling.
- Utilize a rolling pin to gently flatten each bread slice, ensuring a smooth and even surface for filling.
- Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar in a medium bowl until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Prepare two separate shallow dishes: one for the cinnamon-sugar blend and another for melted butter.
- Thoroughly combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in the first dish, creating an aromatic coating mixture.
- Spread the cream cheese blend generously across each flattened bread slice, covering the entire surface.
- Tightly roll each slice into a compact cylinder, ensuring the cream cheese filling remains securely enclosed.
- Carefully immerse each roll first into the melted butter, then completely coat with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Arrange the prepared rolls on a baking sheet, leaving slight spacing between each piece.
- Position the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
- Monitor the rolls until they transform into a golden-brown color with a crispy exterior.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly before serving these delectable treats warm.
Notes
- Perfectly flatten bread slices to create uniform, thin bases for smooth rolling and even baking.
- Cream cheese mixture should be silky and spreadable, ensuring complete coverage without tearing delicate bread.
- Completely coat each roll in melted butter and cinnamon-sugar for maximum caramelization and crispy exterior.
- Arrange rolls with slight spacing on baking sheet to allow hot air circulation and consistent golden-brown coloring.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy maximum crispness and warm, gooey cream cheese filling.
- Store any leftovers in airtight container for up to 2 days, reheating briefly in oven to restore original texture.
