Sweet Morning Surprise: Cinnamon Rolls in No Time
Imagine waking up to the aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls, without sacrificing your entire morning to achieve it. Sounds too good to be true? Think again! By leveraging store-bought pizza dough, you can skip the tedious process of mixing, kneading, and rising, and still enjoy a delicious breakfast treat.
The Secret Ingredient: Premade Pizza Dough
The key to this recipe lies in the convenience of premade pizza dough, available in most well-stocked grocery stores. With this shortcut, you can go from sleepyhead to cinnamon roll connoisseur in just under 2 hours.
What You’ll Need
- 1 pound store-bought pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, plus more for coating the baking dish
- 3 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
- Ground cinnamon
Easy as 1, 2, 3…
Coat a baking dish with butter and set it aside. Roll out the pizza dough to 1/3 inch thick, then brush it with butter, sprinkle with brown sugar, and add a generous pinch of cinnamon. Cut the dough into 10 strips, roll each into a spiral, and arrange them in the prepared baking dish, leaving room for expansion.
Rise and Shine!
Let the rolls rise for about an hour, then bake them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until they’re golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Voilà! Your sweet morning surprise is ready to devour.
