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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Cut the log into 8 equal slices using a serrated knife or dental floss for clean edges.

Step 7

Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased 9-inch square or round baking dish, leaving space between each roll for rising.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy these quick and indulgent cinnamon rolls!
