Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 slices white bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
Filling Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cooking Ingredient:
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Carefully slice off the bread’s exterior edges, creating a smooth, uniform surface.
- Gently press each bread slice with a rolling pin to create a thin, pliable texture.
- In a small mixing vessel, combine velvety butter, rich brown sugar, and fragrant ground cinnamon into a smooth, aromatic blend.
- Generously apply the spiced mixture across the entire surface of each flattened bread slice.
- Roll each slice into compact, tight cylinders, ensuring the cinnamon filling is evenly distributed.
- Prepare a creamy egg bath by whisking fresh eggs, smooth milk, and pure vanilla extract in a separate container.
- Delicately immerse each rolled bread cylinder into the egg mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat, adding a pat of butter to create a golden cooking surface.
- Carefully place the coated rolls into the skillet, rotating periodically to achieve an even, crisp golden-brown exterior.
- Once perfectly caramelized and crisp, transfer the rolls to serving plates.
- Dust with a delicate layer of powdered sugar or drizzle with pure maple syrup for an indulgent finishing touch.
- Serve immediately while warm to enjoy maximum flavor and texture.
Notes
- Choose soft, white sandwich bread for the best texture and easiest rolling.
- Flatten bread completely to ensure thin, even rolls without tearing.
- Thoroughly press and seal the edges of each roll to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
- Experiment with alternative fillings like Nutella, cream cheese, or fruit preserves for variety.
- Use gluten-free bread to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Control heat carefully to prevent burning; medium-low temperature works best for golden, even browning.
- Prepare egg mixture just before cooking to maintain optimal consistency.
