Quick and Easy Cinnamon Rolls
Posted on 18 July 2008 by joy
When I want cinnamon rolls I turn into an irrational person. I simply refuse to wait the 3+ hours it takes for the dough to rise and rise and rise again. Here’s a trick- grab a bag of pre-made pizza dough (like the handy one from Trader Joe’s) and let it rest outside of the package for about 30 minutes. After the dough has lost it’s chill, roll it out and load it up with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll it up, slice and bake. Just like that you’ve got warm cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven!
I tragically burned my first batch of these cinnamon rolls. Keep and eye on them or the sugar will burn. Of course this then lead me on a search for the perfect cinnamon roll recipe. Join the discussion here!
