Cinnamon Rolls
1 1-lb. loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1½ T. ground cinnamon
4 T. butter or margarine
2 T cream cheese, softened
2 T butter, softened
3/4 c. confectioners' sugar
1/4 t. vanilla extract
1/8 t. salt
I usually thaw the dough in the fridge early in the morning its thawed when I make the rolls sometime after dinner.
Mix cinnamon and brown sugar in a bowl. Set aside. Roll dough into about a 10 X 14 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 4 T. butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture.
Roll up dough and cut into 8 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes (or you can cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight remove from fridge in the morning and then allow to rise).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 2 T butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
