Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent dough Refrigerate until ready to use for best results.
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional) Can substitute with seeds or omit for nut allergies.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll the crescent dough and lay it out on a clean, flat surface.
  3. Spread the melted butter evenly over the dough.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the buttered dough.
  5. If using nuts, sprinkle them over the cinnamon-sugar layer.
  6. Cut the dough into strips—about 1-inch wide.
  7. Twist each strip of dough several times, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake in your preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor experience.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, consider freezing them in a sealed bag. To reheat, pop them in an oven set at 350°F (175°C) for about 5–10 minutes.
