Instructions
Cinnamon Rolls, Filling and Shaping
Make the sweet bread dough(see notes), no need to let it rise, roll it out thin.
Brush 1/4 cup melted and cooled butter on the dough, cut the dough into about 3 inch strips.
Divide cinnamon filling among the strips of dough. Placing the cinnamon in the middle of each strip.
Seal the strips into a long snake like pouch.
Cut the strips into approximately same size, press the ends well to seal.
Roll out each pouch so it’s about 2.5 inch wide, or little more.
Using pastry wheel cut the slits in the pouch, care not to cut through the ends.
Start at the end, slightly on an angle, roll the pouch until you have a log formed.
Shape it into a snail, and tack the ends so they stick together.
Line baking sheet or a baking pan, about 1/4 size sheet or a round pan will work as well with the parchment paper, spray with the nonstick spray. Layer rolls next to each other.
At this point you can let it rise for about 40 - 60 minutes. Cover the pan with unbaked buns with a damp paper towel. Bake in the preheated oven at 350F for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. OR you can cover it with the plastic wrap and refrigerate till next day, make sure to allow for 2-3 hours for the rolls to come to room temperature and to allow for the rise/proofing.
Once baked, let cool slightly. Then brush on the glaze. Let cool completely and enjoy or freeze for later.
