I love making cinnamon-flavored recipes because they are so versatile. Like my quick 45-minute cinnamon rolls that are delicious for breakfast or dessert! Cinnamon is also the star of the show in this cake or these cookies. You’ll want to make all of them!

What are Cinnamon Roll Breadtwists?

From the soft, buttery bread to the sweet cinnamon brown sugar coating. Cinnamon roll breadtwists are like breadsticks but much sweeter! This recipe makes a tasty treat with the most beautiful presentation. It starts with an easy homemade dough that gets slathered in butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and brown sugar. The fun part is twisting the dough into the cutest shape. They bake into soft and fluffy cinnamon roll breadtwists that nobody can resist! It’s like eating the middle of a gooey cinnamon roll. Speaking of cinnamon rolls, I have lots of delicious cinnamon roll recipes on the blog that I can’t wait for you to try! Make these strawberry cinnamon rolls, these delicious overnight cinnamon rolls, and of course, these tasty caramel apple cinnamon rolls. You won’t be able to decide which one to make first!

Ingredients Needed

There are three simple steps to making these cinnamon roll breadtwists. You start with making the dough, then the filling is mixed together and spread over the dough. Finally, the dough is twisted and baked into soft sweet cinnamon roll breadtwists. Here are all of the ingredients you will need. You can find the exact measurements in the recipe card below.

Dough

Water: Use warm water to activate the yeast. Instant Yeast: This yeast helps the dough to rise and become soft. Sugar: This sweetens the dough, making this bread perfect for breakfast or even dessert! Butter: I used unsalted butter in this recipe. Flour: I used all-purpose flour in this recipe. Salt: The salt enhances all of the ingredients in the recipe.

Cinnamon and Sugar

Brown Sugar: Adds sweetness to the mixture. Cinnamon: Use ground cinnamon for these cinnamon roll breadtwists. It’s the star of the recipe! Unsalted Butter: Melt the butter to brush on the dough so the cinnamon and sugar sticks!

Cinnamon Roll Bread Twists Recipe

Like other homemade bread dough recipes, these cinnamon roll breadtwists do require some preparation and time. But it’s SO worth the wait! However, this bread is easy to make, and the steps are very straightforward. It’s important to remember that the dough does need to be proofed, so plan ahead!

Make the Dough

Shape the Cinnamon Roll Breadtwists

Bake

Yeast: There is a difference between Instant and Active dry yeast, but whichever one you have, proof both of them. Technically you do not have to prove the instant yeast, it does not require “activation” as active yeast does. But I like to “activate” my instant anyway. This way I know whether or not the yeast is good. If your yeast does not bubble and rise after 10 minutes, throw it out. It isn’t good anymore. Pizza Cutter: Using a pizza cutter works wonders when cutting the dough into strips. It glides right over the dough. Serve with a Sweet Dip: These cinnamon roll breadtwists are wonderful on their own but are even better when dipped in a sweet dip like Cannoli Dip or Marshmallow Cream Cheese Fruit Dip!
