Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 16 slice white sandwich bread crusts trimmed
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar for filling
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon for filling
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter melted
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar for coating
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon for coating
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make filling: In a bowl, beat cream cheese with 0.25 cup sugar, 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth.
- Prep bread: Trim crusts from each slice and gently flatten with a rolling pin to make it pliable.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling over each slice, leaving a small border. Roll up tightly, seam side down.
- Stir 0.25 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a shallow dish for coating.
- Brush each roll lightly with melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar to coat. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
- Bake 12 to 15 minutes, turning once halfway, until lightly golden and crisp at the edges.
- Cool 5 minutes and serve warm. Optional: dust with extra cinnamon-sugar or drizzle with a little icing.
Notes
Tip: Day-old bread rolls tighter and bakes crisper. To air fry, cook at 375°F for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 2 days and rewarm in a toaster oven for best texture.
