Cinnamon Toast Rolls

Ingredients

• 12 slices thin sliced bread, crusts removed
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Roll out bread between two pieces of waxed paper very thin. Brush both sides of each slice with some of the butter.

In a bowl, stir together the sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon sugar on one side of each slice leaving 1/2-inch border on one side, roll the bread tightly jelly-roll fashion towards border. Trim the ends on the diagonal, roll in remaining sugar mixture. (The rolls may be made up to this point 1 week in advance and kept wrapped tightly and frozen.)

Transfer the rolls seam side down to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until they are browned lightly.
