Dough
- 1 frozen white bread loaf
Filling
- 1/4 cup butter salted, melted
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Vanilla Frosting
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 2/3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Vanilla Icing
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
Thaw out dough according to package directions.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9-inch round baking pan with baking spray with flour. Set aside.
Once dough has thawed/risen, roll the dough out on a lightly floured board/surface into approximately a 11x17 inch rectangle.
In a small sauce pan melt the butter. Reserve about 1-2 tbsp of butter and set aside. Spread remaining butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
Mix together cinnamon and dark brown sugar. Sprinkle mixture evenly over the butter layer.
Starting with the short side of the dough, roll the dough into a tight cylinder. Brush a little water on the edge to seal.
Brush reserved butter over the cylinder.
Cut the dough into equal sized pieces, about 1.5 inch pieces.
Place the cut pieces into the prepared pan leaving about a little space between each piece.
Place a clean dish towel over the pan, set in a warm place and let rise until it doubles in size. About 1 hour.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until cinnamon buns are golden brown and slightly spring back when pressed down. Do not over cook.
Let buns cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
While the buns are cooling, choose from one of the following frosting/icing.
Vanilla Frosting
Using a hand mixer, beat the butter until creamy.
Add powdered sugar, milk and vanilla and beat until smooth and creamy.
Spread over warm buns.
Cut, serve and enjoy!
