Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sugar and cinnamon powder together.
- Starting with 4 slices of bread at a time, spread oleomargarine evenly and smoothly on both sides.
- Cut each slice into 4 or 5 pieces lengthwise.
- Remove side crust only from each piece.
- Dip each piece into the sugar and cinnamon mixture until well coated.
- Arrange the coated pieces in one layer on a cookie sheet.
- Bake in a slow oven at 170°F for at least 1 hour.
- Turn the pieces over once during baking.
- Shut off the oven and leave the toast in until dried and crisp.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating fresh herbs like basil or oregano along with the garlic. If you don't have oleomargarine, unsalted butter works well as a substitute. Feel free to adjust the sugar and cinnamon ratio to your taste; some may prefer a sweeter roll. This recipe can also be made with whole wheat bread for a healthier option.
Serving Suggestions
These garlic rolls are perfect as a snack or appetizer and pair wonderfully with soups or salads. Consider serving them alongside a hearty bowl of Tomato Basil Soup or as a side to a festive meal. For a sweet touch, they can also be enjoyed with a drizzle of honey or a dusting of powdered sugar, reminiscent of desserts like Thumbprint Cookies.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover garlic rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to a month. To reheat, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through and crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh garlic instead of crushed?
Yes, you can use fresh garlic. About 1/2 teaspoon of minced fresh garlic equals one clove. Just remember that fresh garlic has a stronger flavor, so adjust according to your preference.
What if I don't have cinnamon?
If you don’t have cinnamon, you can try using nutmeg or pumpkin spice as an alternative. They will provide a different flavor profile but still complement the sweetness of the rolls nicely.
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the rolls and coat them with the sugar-cinnamon mixture, then store them in the fridge for a few hours before baking. Just allow them to come to room temperature before putting them in the oven.
