Notes
To make these Sweet and Crispy Cinnamon Sticks gluten free, use certified gluten-free white sandwich bread.
Ensure the gluten-free bread is soft and flexible enough to flatten and roll without cracking.
Verify that the cream cheese, powdered sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and butter are labeled gluten free.
Use clean bowls, utensils, measuring cups, a rolling pin, baking sheet, and parchment paper to prevent gluten cross-contact.
If preparing this recipe for someone with celiac disease, avoid shared butter, shared cinnamon sugar, and any surfaces that may have touched regular bread.
Bake on a clean parchment-lined baking sheet and serve with certified gluten-free dipping sauces if desired.
