Ingredients
Instructions for Phyllo Dough Cinnamon Rolls
This Phyllo Dough Cinnamon Roll is so easy I don't understand why it isn't more common place to see this version at the brunch table versus the traditional pillowy one! Have you ever hosted a brunch?! Eggs cook so incredibly fast, how is there even time for all the steps of a traditional cinnamon roll ?? Perhaps you've discovered this recipe because your looking for an easier cinnamon roll... or perhaps you've stumbled here wondering , "What to do with phyllo dough?" Either way, this recipe covers both of those. I am sort of a cinnamon super fan over here and I can confidently say I like this crunchy Phyllo Dough Cinnamon Roll better anyway !
Phyllo dough, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. That's it. All you'll need to make this crunchy flaky breakfast dessert. I told you it was simple didn't I?!
Starting with 4 sheets of phyllo dough, butter each sheet and stack them on top of each other. combine your brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add half of this mixture to the top of your 4th sheet of phyllo dough.
Add 4 more layers of phyllo dough, buttering in between each sheet. and top off with the rest of the brown sugar cinnamon mixture. Roll the whole thing up, and slice it into 2 " sections.
Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes in a muffin pan. Remove from the pan immediately and let fully cool before icing.
Tools You'll Need
Small Bowl - I love these shatter proof bowls, the bright white helps food POP with color
Measuring Spoons - Get that gold girly aesthetic with these measuring spoons. They are so classy and pair well with many kitchen colors like blue, green, or purple!
Muffin Pan - I opt for steel bakeware for easy cleaning and long lifespan
Basting Brush - For the longest time I just drizzled on whatever I was supposed to be basting on. I've learned an easy to clean silicone basting brush won't waste your drizzle and you can apply it into every nook and cranny for ultimate crispiness
