Bread Dough Cinnamon Rolls

This recipe is the easiest, since you just use a little of your dough from the bread you are already making.

Ingredients:

1 - 2 loafs of bread dough (1 loaf = 12 small rolls, 2 loafs = 15-18 large rolls)
soft or melted butter
cinnamon
brown sugar
maraschino cherries, chopped (optional)
nuts, chopped (optional)

Directions:

Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick and spread or rub the butter on it. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon and then brown sugar.

Then starting on a long side of the rectangle, roll the dough up jelly-roll style. Cut the rolls about 1 inch thick and place on a buttered pan, an inch or so apart. Let it raise for 30 - 40 minutes, until the rolls are touching each other.

Bake at 350° F for 18 - 20 minutes.

Frost with vanilla frosting (recipe below) immediately after they come out of the oven.
