Ingredients

  • 2 cans refrigerated croissant dough sheets or triangles
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Optional: 1/3 cup chopped nuts (pecans, almonds, or walnuts)
  • Optional: 1/3 cup raisins, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Unroll croissant dough and flatten into rectangles. Layer dough pieces into the pan, brushing each with the cinnamon-sugar butter mixture.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
  4. Brush each dough layer generously with the cinnamon-butter mixture. Add optional nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips between layers.
  5. Continue layering and brushing until the loaf pan is full, finishing with a top layer brushed with butter mixture.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden and puffed. Loaf should be cooked through in the center.
  7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add chopped nuts between layers for texture.
  • Include raisins or cranberries for sweet fruity flavor.
  • Use chocolate chips for a dessert-style loaf.
  • Make a savory version with garlic-herb butter and cheese/meat fillings.
  • Reheat slices in oven or toaster oven for best texture.
