Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf frozen bread dough
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for rolling)
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Thaw the frozen bread dough according to the package instructions until it is soft and pliable. This usually takes several hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
Lightly flour a clean surface and use a rolling pin to roll the thawed bread dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches in size.
Melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and brush it evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch margin around all edges.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it, and turn the log seam-side down.
Cut the log into 8 equal slices using a serrated knife or dental floss for clean edges.
Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased 9-inch square or round baking dish, leaving space between each roll for rising.
Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise in a warm area for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until roughly doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy these quick and indulgent cinnamon rolls!
