Ingredients
  

Roll ups
  • 1 can refrigerated breadstick dough Use breadstick dough (or biscuit dough) from a can.
  • 0.25 cup butter Melted for brushing.
  • 0.25 cup cinnamon sugar Use cinnamon sugar for sprinkling before roasting.
  • 8 roasting sticks Wooden roasting sticks for wrapping and holding over the fire.
Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar For the drizzle glaze.
  • 2 tbsp milk Stir into powdered sugar to make a pourable glaze.

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Wrap and prep
  1. Separate the refrigerated breadstick dough into individual pieces.
  2. Wrap each dough piece around the end of a roasting stick in a spiral pattern.
  3. Brush the wrapped dough with melted butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar so it coats the surface.
Roast over the campfire
  1. Hold the stick over the campfire, rotating constantly, for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and glaze
  1. Slide the roll ups off the stick and let them cool for 2 minutes.
  2. Mix the powdered sugar and milk for glaze, then drizzle over the warm roll ups.

Notes

Pro tip: Rotate continuously to prevent uneven browning—golden edges with no doughy center means they’re done. Store leftover roll ups covered in the fridge up to 3 days; rewarm briefly before glazing for best texture. Freezing isn’t recommended because the dough can soften after thawing. For a dairy-light swap, use plant-based butter and a splash of oat milk in the glaze.
