🧾 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
1️⃣ Preheat
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Prepare the Dough
Unroll the crescent dough and press the perforated edges together to form rectangles.
3️⃣ Add Cinnamon Sugar
Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush melted butter evenly over the dough rectangles, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
4️⃣ Fold & Twist
Fold each rectangle in half lengthwise and gently press the edges to seal. Twist each strip into a spiral and place on the prepared baking sheet.
5️⃣ Add Brown Sugar Topping
In a small saucepan, melt the brown sugar with 1 tablespoon butter until smooth and slightly glossy. Stir in pecans if using. Drizzle lightly over the twists.
6️⃣ Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
7️⃣ Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the warm breadtwists.
Serve immediately while warm and gooey.
💛 Tips
For extra richness, add a sprinkle of extra cinnamon before baking.
