Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I start by preparing the bread. I like to trim the crusts off each slice; it just makes the roll-ups easier to enjoy later. After that, I grab my rolling pin and gently flatten each slice of bread. This step is vital as it helps the rolls to hold their shape better, which means less mess during cooking! In a separate bowl, I mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until it’s nice and smooth. I spread some of this delicious mixture evenly across each slice of flattened bread, then roll them up tightly. It’s almost as satisfying as making a burrito!
