Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough and cinnamon butter
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated breadstick dough (or biscuit dough)
  • 0.25 cup butter melted
  • 0.25 cup cinnamon sugar
  • 1 roasting sticks
Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk

Method
 

Wrap and roast
  1. Separate the refrigerated breadstick dough into individual pieces. Keep the pieces separate so each one wraps evenly around the stick.
  2. Wrap each dough piece around the end of a roasting stick in a spiral pattern. Leave a little overlap as you wind so the dough bakes into a roll-up shape.
  3. Brush the wrapped dough with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Make sure the cinnamon sugar lands on the outside for a crisp, caramelized surface.
  4. Hold the stick over the campfire and rotate constantly for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Watch for deep browning with no raw dough in the center.
Glaze and cool
  1. Slide the roll ups off the stick and let them cool for 2 minutes. This brief cooling step helps the dough set before glazing.
  2. Mix powdered sugar and milk for the glaze, then drizzle over the warm roll ups. Use a thin drizzle so it sets on top without soaking in.

Notes

Pro tip: Keep the fire hot but not blazing—hover just above steady coals and rotate constantly to prevent scorching. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; rewarm briefly to refresh the exterior (microwave 10-20 seconds). Freezing is not recommended for best glaze texture. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free refrigerated biscuit or breadstick dough if available.
