# Instructions:
01 -
Flatten each bread slice using a rolling pin or the back of a spoon to create an even surface.

While still warm, roll the cooked roll-ups in a mixture of 0.25 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to coat fully.

For a sweeter finish, dust with extra powdered sugar just before serving.
