Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get cooking! First, I start by gently rolling out each slice of bread with a rolling pin until they’re nicely flattened. It might not seem like a big deal, but this step makes it so much easier to roll them up later. Once flattened, I spread a layer of softened cream cheese across each slice, ensuring every corner is covered. Then, I mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle a generous amount over the cream cheese layer. The smell of those two flavors together is heavenly!
