  2. Take each strip, twist it gently, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

  1. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before adding the glaze.

Step 5: Drizzle with Glaze (Optional)

  2. Drizzle over the warm breadtwists before serving.

Tips for the Best Cinnamon Roll Breadtwists
