Ingredients
For the Breadtwists
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dough
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup chopped pecans (optional)
For the Vanilla Glaze
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Dough & Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll crescent dough onto a clean surface and gently press perforated seams together to form one solid rectangle.
2️⃣ Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Filling
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
3️⃣ Assemble the Twists
Brush melted butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top, pressing gently. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice dough lengthwise into 1-inch-wide strips.
4️⃣ Twist and Bake
Fold each strip lengthwise and lightly pinch the ends to seal. Twist each strip 2–3 times to form a spiral. Place twists on the baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle with chopped pecans if using.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes.
5️⃣ Glaze and Serve
Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle glaze over warm breadtwists and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
Add more cinnamon to the filling for extra spice.
