Try It Tuesday ~ making Cinnamon rolls, the easy way!

Hi guys!!

Don't put away your flour  away yet, I want to share with you an easy and

 delicious way to make cinnamon rolls.  I make them around this time every year and no one complains :).  I have taught both granddaughters how to make them, but we documented it this time.

No excuses not to make them~

#1 ~ This is the bread dough I buy.  Place all three loves in a buttered bowl and let it rise over night.

In the morning you will be ready to punch down the dough and knead it.

#2.  Roll the dough out on a floured surface about a 1/4" thick.

#3.  Spread softened butter over the dough.

#4. Add white sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon  ~ sprinkle on dough.

#5. Roll the dough into a long log and cut about 1" thick.  Place in a buttered dish.

  Leave room for the cinnamon rolls to rise.

#6. Let rise 2nd time.  Bake at 350 until brown.

#7. Icing is powdered sugar, warm milk and butter.  Glaze and enjoy!
