This frozen bread dough recipe makes it super easy to make cinnamon rolls. They're super tasty without all the work.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter, divided
  • 1 (1 pound) loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ⅔ cup sifted confectioners' sugar, or as needed
  • 1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed
  • 1 dash vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Lightly grease two 9-inch round cake pans with 1 tablespoon melted butter; set aside.
  2. Roll bread dough out to an 18x6-inch rectangle and brush with remaining tablespoon melted butter. Mix brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon in a bowl; sprinkle over dough. Roll dough into a log, starting at a long edge. Moisten the other long edge with a little water; press to seal.
  3. Cut log into 20 slices. Arrange rolls, cut-sides down, in the prepared cake pans. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  5. Pour heavy cream over rolls.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
  7. Make icing: Stir confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth and pourable. Add more milk or sugar as needed to reach desired consistency.
  8. Drizzle icing over warm cinnamon rolls.
