Cinnamon Rolls made with Frozen Bread Dough

Mom is showing us how she makes her cinnamon rolls (sticky buns) using frozen bread dough instead of making it from scratch.  It honestly is so much easier and you can barely tell the difference.  I grew up on her homemade cinnamon rolls and it was always such a special treat when she made them for us.  It brings back so many memories of the smell and taste I grew up with.  Y’all are going to definately want to try these.  Believe me, they will be done in no time and your family is going to love them.

 

Ingredients:

• 2 loaves frozen bread dough
• 1-2 sticks room temperature butter
• 1-2 cups brown sugar (use the amount you like)
• 3-4 tablespoons cinnamon
• 1 – 1 1/2 cups crushed walnuts.

 

1. Take the bread dough out of freezer and place in very large bowl and let thaw and rise overnight.
2. Roll out the risen dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
3. Smear your butter all over the rolled out dough.  Spread evenly.
4. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly across the buttered dough.  Use as much as you like on your rolls.
5. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the top evenly.
6. Start on one corner and start rolling evenly until you have a log rolled up.
7. Pour melted butter in bottom of your cookie sheet.
8. Sprinkle the butter with  brown sugar (about 3/4 cup)
9. Now sprinkle with cinnamon and then the walnuts.
10. You will now cut the log into about 1 inch size.
11. Lay them on top of the mixture on your baking sheet.  Leave an inch between rolls to let them rise.
12. Cover with a tea towel and let rise to double in size. (about 2 hours)
