 FAQ

Q: Can I make these with brioche or whole wheat bread?
A: Yes! Brioche makes them richer. Whole wheat works too, but may be firmer to roll.

Q: Can I add a filling like cream cheese or Nutella?
A: Absolutely! Spread a thin layer before the cinnamon mixture.

Q: Can I bake them instead of frying?
A: Yes — bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes until golden, turning once halfway.
