Instructions

Cut the crusts off the bread slices. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice to about ⅛-inch thickness. This helps create a tight roll and ensures even cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and almond flour. Mix until smooth and well combined.
In a separate shallow dish, combine the remaining powdered sugar and ground cinnamon.
Spread 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly onto each flattened bread slice.
Tightly roll up each bread slice. Brush the rolled bread with melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Place the coated rolls on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can grill the rolls for a similar result. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For extra crunch and a nutty flavor boost, sprinkle finely chopped toasted almonds or pistachios inside the rolls before baking or toasting.
If you prefer a gooier center, lightly warm the cream cheese before spreading, and consider adding a spoonful of condensed milk for a rich, Indian-inspired sweetness.
To prevent the rolls from unravelling during cooking, lightly brush the edge of the bread with water or milk before sealing and rolling them up.
These rolls taste best fresh.

Expert Tips

For a savory variation, try using fillings like herbed cream cheese, pesto, or finely chopped vegetables.
Experiment with different types of bread, such as whole wheat, sourdough, or challah, for unique flavor profiles and textures.
Cut the rolls into smaller bite-sized pieces for easier serving and snacking.

Storage Instructions

If you need to prepare ahead, assemble and refrigerate the uncooked rolls for up to 8 hours. Bake or toast just before serving for maximum crunchiness.
