Alright, let’s get started on these here bread cinnamon roll-ups. I ain’t no fancy baker, mind you, but I can whip up somethin’ tasty. This ain’t gonna be one of them complicated recipes, no sir. We’re keepin’ it simple, the way my grandma taught me.
First off, you gotta get yourself some dough. Now, I ain’t makin’ no dough from scratch, ain’t nobody got time for that. Just go to the store and buy them ready-made dough rolls, the ones they use for biscuits or whatever. Yeah, them ones. Get the kind that ain’t too thin, you don’t want ’em fallin’ apart on ya. Now, take that dough and put it in a bowl. I like to spray the bowl a little with that cookin’ spray stuff, so the dough don’t stick. Then flip the dough around, get it all greased up so it don’t stick to nothin’. You could use milk instead of the spray, but it ain’t the same, trust me. Heavy cream or whippin’ cream, that’s the good stuff, makes it real soft and fluffy. But if you ain’t got none, milk will do in a pinch.
Okay, now for the good part, the fillin’! This is where the magic happens, y’all. You need some cream cheese, the kind that’s all soft and spreadable. Put that in a little bowl. Then you gotta sweeten it up. I use that powdered sugar stuff, makes it real sweet and smooth. Mix it all together real good, until it’s all creamy and nice. You don’t want no lumps in there, nobody likes lumpy fillin’. Now, some folks like to add other stuff, like vanilla or lemon juice, but I say keep it simple. Just cream cheese and sugar, that’s all you need.
- Get your dough ready
- Make the filling nice and smooth
- Cook ’em up in a pan
Next up, you gotta roll out that dough. Don’t need no fancy rollin’ pin, just use your hands or a clean jar, whatever you got. You wanna make it kinda thin, but not too thin, like I said before. Then you spread that cream cheese mixture all over the dough, not too thick, not too thin, just right. Then you sprinkle on some cinnamon and sugar. Now, don’t be stingy with the cinnamon, that’s what makes it taste so good. I like to mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a little bowl first, so it’s all mixed up good.
Alright, now for the rollin’ up part. Start at one end and roll that dough up tight, like you’re rollin’ up a blanket. Try to keep it tight, so it don’t fall apart when you’re cookin’ it. Once you got it all rolled up, you gotta cut it into slices. I use a knife, but you can use a string or whatever you got. Cut ’em about an inch thick, or however big you want ’em. It don’t gotta be perfect, ain’t nobody gonna care if they’re all different sizes.
Now, it’s time to cook these babies up. I like to use a skillet, a pan, you know what I mean. Put a little butter in the pan, melt it over medium heat. Don’t want it too hot, or they’ll burn. Then you put them roll-ups in the pan, cook ’em for a few minutes on each side, until they’re all golden brown and crispy. You gotta watch ’em close, they can burn quick. When they’re done, take ’em out of the pan and roll ’em in some more cinnamon sugar, while they’re still warm. That’s the secret, y’all, makes ’em extra tasty.
And that’s it, you’re done! See, I told you it was easy. Now you got yourself some delicious bread cinnamon roll-ups. You can eat ’em just like that, or you can drizzle some maple syrup on top, or sprinkle on some more powdered sugar, whatever you like. These roll ups are really the best of both worlds, they’re kinda sweet, kinda buttery, and that cinnamon sugar inside is just pure goodness. They’re just like them fancy cinnamon rolls, but way easier to make. And the best part is, they taste like home. My grandkids love ’em, your family will too. Go on now, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
This winter, you could wake up your family to that smell. It’s a good way to start the day, I’m tellin’ ya. It don’t need no yeast, and it’s quick and easy. That’s what I like. Simple and good.
