Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices white or wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
- Combine Honey and Butter: In a separate bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter with the honey, creating a smooth honey-butter mixture.
- Flatten Bread Slices: Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread to create a thin, even surface, which helps in rolling and absorbing flavors.
- Apply Honey-Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Brush one side of each flattened bread slice generously with the honey-butter mixture, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mix evenly over the brushed side.
- Roll the Bread: Roll each slice tightly starting from one edge, ensuring a snug roll that holds together well during baking. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to seal.
- Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the tops of the rolls with any remaining honey-butter mixture and sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar for extra flavor and caramelization.
- Bake: Bake the roll-ups in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the roll-ups to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving to let them set and to avoid burning your mouth from hot filling.
- Optional Dusting: Dust lightly with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal before enjoying warm.
Notes
- These roll-ups make for a quick breakfast, snack, or dessert option.
- For variety, spread a dollop of cream cheese or Nutella inside the bread before rolling for a richer flavor experience.
