Ingredients
- Approximately ¾ cup granulated sugar
- Half a cup of unsalted butter liquefied
- 5½ ounces of softened cream cheese
- 12 slices of soft white sandwich bread crusts removed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- Slice off the crusts from each piece of bread and discard or set aside for another use.
- Use a rolling pin to compress and flatten each slice of bread until thin and pliable.
- In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and evenly combined.
- In a separate shallow bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon; reserve this mixture for coating.
- Spread roughly 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the sweetened cream cheese mixture over one side of each flattened bread slice.
- Gently roll each slice into a tight log, enclosing the filling within.
- Immerse each roll-up in the melted butter, ensuring it is completely coated.
- Immediately after buttering, roll each piece in the cinnamon-sugar blend until thoroughly covered.
- Place the prepared rolls in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Continue the process with the remaining slices of bread.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 16 to 20 minutes, or until each roll is golden brown and slightly crisped.
- Serve warm for optimal flavor and texture.
