CINNAMON BUNS (by Sandra Lee - www.semihomemade.com)

INGREDIENTS:
FOR DOUGH AND FILLING:

• 1 loaf frozen white bread dough, thawed*, Bridgford® All-purpose flour, for dusting surface
• 1 cup packed golden brown sugar, C&H®
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, McCormick®
• 2⁄3 stick butter, softened

FOR ICING:

• 1 stick (1⁄2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar, C&H®
• 1⁄3 cup cream cheese, Philadelphia®
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, McCormick®

DIRECTIONS:
DOUGH AND FILLING PREPARATION

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 15×7-inch rectangle. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Spread 2⁄3 stick softened butter over dough. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Starting at the long edge, roll up dough as for a jelly roll. Pinch seam to seal.
2. Cut rolled dough into 16 slices and divide slices between 2 lightly buttered 8-inch round baking pans. Set aside in a warm place and allow dough to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden on top. Promptly invert baking pan over a wire rack, and lift pan from buns. Scoop filling that has remained in the pan over buns. Allow buns to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

ICING PREPARATION

1. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the icing ingredients with an electric mixer until fluffy. Spread or pipe (with a pastry bag) icing over rolls. Serve warm.

*Note: Thaw frozen bread dough overnight in the refrigerator.
