Make Cinnamon Buns From Frozen Bread Dough

Frozen bread dough lets you skip the steps of mixing and kneading the dough needed for cinnamon buns. While you do not save time using frozen bread dough since it requires a long thaw, you can decrease the amount of effort you put into making your cinnamon buns. Plan to begin the preparation the night before so you can have fresh, hot cinnamon buns for breakfast.

Instructions

1. Coat one side of the plastic wrap with cooking spray and lay the sprayed side of the plastic wrap against the frozen bread dough.

2. Let the dough thaw at room temperature for two to three hours until pliable and doubled in bulk.

3. Remove the plastic wrap and roll the bread dough into a 14 inch by nine inch rectangle.

4. Spread the butter over the surface of the dough rectangle.

5. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl and evenly scatter the sugar mixture over the butter.

6. Drizzle the maple syrup over the cinnamon and sugar on the dough.

7. Roll the dough up from the 14 inch side so you have a nine inch long log with the sugar inside the dough roll.

8. Use a serrated knife to cut the dough crosswise into one and a half inch thick rounds.

9. Spray the inside of an eight inch round cake pan with cooking spray.

10. Place the cut cinnamon buns into the sprayed baking pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap.

11. Set the prepared cinnamon buns in the refrigerator overnight or on the counter for one hour until the buns have doubled in size.

12. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F for 20 minutes to preheat.

13. Bake the cinnamon buns for 15 to 20 minutes.

14. Whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk in a bowl until smooth to make the icing.

15. Spread the icing over the cooked cinnamon rolls five minutes after removing them from the oven to let the icing slightly melt and serve immediately.
