# Ingredients:
→ Bread Rolls Base
01 -
10 slices of soft white bread, no crust
02 -
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
03 -
3 tablespoons butter, melted and ready
04 -
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
→ Egg Mixture for Coating
05 -
3 large eggs, lightly whisked
06 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
07 -
1 tablespoon milk
08 -
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
→ For Frying
09 -
2 to 3 tablespoons butter, for cooking
# Instructions:
01 -
Take your bread and cut off the edges to get rid of the crust. Using your rolling pin, flatten out each piece as much as you can. Press firmly so they’re smooth and easy to roll. Don’t worry—it’s quite fun!
02 -
Melt your butter and combine it with the sugar and cinnamon in a small dish. Stir until it all turns into a sweet, caramel-like mix. This is the magic that makes everything taste amazing!
03 -
Grab a piece of flattened bread and spread a thin coating of your cinnamon filling on it, keeping the edges bare. Roll it up tightly like a log and lightly press the seam to keep it shut. Repeat with all your slices.
04 -
In a shallow bowl, mix the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth. Make sure the bowl’s wide enough to fit the roll-ups since you’ll be dipping them here before cooking.
05 -
Melt butter over medium heat in a skillet. Roll each cinnamon stick-up in the egg mixture quickly (don’t let them sit too long!). Put them seam-side down into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes total, turning them carefully until all sides get a lovely golden color.
06 -
Place your freshly cooked roll-ups on a plate while they’re still warm. They’re scrumptious as they are, but for extra fun, sprinkle with powdered sugar, pour on some syrup, or add whipped cream. Eat them warm while the centers are soft and gooey!
# Notes:

02 -
For a cream cheese topping, whip 2 oz softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk until it’s smooth enough to drizzle.
03 -
Fresh, soft bread works best since older, dry slices tend to crack. Quick fix? Pop bread in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften it slightly before rolling.
