Cinnamon Rolls by Sandra Lee

These took 2 attempts. The first attempt I used a canned bread dough and it didn't work so I ran up to Safeway and picked up Rhodes White Bread Dough.
They were ok. Alex finished for me by making the frosting - my visiting teachers were over and he didn't want to wait!

Cinnamon Rolls


  • Cook Time 15 min

  • Level Easy

  • Yield 16 rolls


Ingredients

  • 1 loaf frozen white bread dough, thawed in refrigerator Flour, for dusting surface Filling: 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 2/3 stick butter, softened Icing: 1 stick unsalted butter, softened 1 cup powdered sugar 1/3 cup cream cheese 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to form a 15 by 7-inch rectangle. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. Spread 2/3 cup softened butter over dough and then evenly sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Starting at the long edge, roll up dough as for a jelly roll. Cut roll into 16 slices and then set aside in a warm place and allow dough to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Divide rolls among 2 lightly buttered round baking pans. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden on top. While the rolls are baking, combine the icing ingredients with an electric mixer until fluffy. Frost the warm rolls with the icing. Serve warm.
