Ingredients

For the cinnamon rolls:

  • 1 loaf frozen bread dough
  • 4 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

For the frosting:

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 c. butter softened
  • 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Thaw the bread dough in a loaf pan and allow it to rise.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a rectangle.
  • In a small bowl combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  • Spread the brown sugar mixture onto the dough leaving a half inch edge on all sides.
  • Roll the dough starting at one of the long ends. When you get to the end pinch the seams closed.
  • Cut a half inch off each side of the dough then cut the dough with a serrated knife into 8 pieces. Each piece should be about 2 inches thick.
  • Place the cinnamon rolls in a cake pan and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Bake for 17-20 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls are brown. Remove from oven.
  • To make the frosting beat the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed. Add in the powdered sugar a half cup at a time and mix until smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Frost the still warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy.
