Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

Unroll the crescent dough and pinch the perforations together to create a seamless sheet. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten the dough.

Step 3: Add Filling and Roll

Brush the entire surface with melted butter. Sprinkle with a generous layer of cinnamon sugar. If desired, add a thin layer of Nutella, jam, or cream cheese.

Step 4: Slice and Twist

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough lengthwise into 1-inch wide strips. Roll each strip into a tight spiral, then cut the spiral in half lengthwise to expose the layers. Twist each half and coil into a muffin shape.

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Place each twisted dough into a muffin cup. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
