Pizza Dough Cinnabuns
(9 servings)
- one bag of fresh pizza dough from local bakery (also now sold in most grocery stores)
-
1/4 cup softened butter
-
1 cup of brown sugar
-
1 Tablespoon of cinnamon
This recipe worked very well. I made a double batch for Easter Brunch. While they're not as great as cinnamon rolls made from scratch (see recipe for Soft Cinnamon Rolls), they come a close second. While constructing the rolls, I worried that the ratio of cinnamon and sugar to dough might be too high. It was no problem. Any excess filling created a faint bottom layer of delicious, delightful goo. The cream cheese topping helped make these especially good. Bottom Line: They were easy to make and they tasted terrific. (This recipe was submitted in 2006. It was tested and photographed in March 2016.)

Roll dough from bottom to top to a log
and cut into one inch bun yield about 9 buns.
Put the buns on cookie baking tray with parchment paper, or a greased and floured cookie tray.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
For extra calories,
make a cream cheese topping and spread over each bun.
Cream Cheese Topping
1/2 cup of Philadelphia cream cheese (soft)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup of icing sugar
Mix all together and spread over each bun.
Cooking Notes From Mr Breakfast
When rolling out the pizza dough, I found that either a 12 x 12-inch or 10 x 10 inch sheet of dough worked great as a blanket for the fillings.
My exact cooking time for the rolls you see here was 26 minutes.
I added about 1 Tablespoon of milk to the cream cheese topping to make it easier to spread.
That dough they sell for pizza isn't just for pizza. With very little effort and only a couple extra ingredients, you can have homemade cinnamon rolls ready to eat in 25 minutes. Great for surprise guests.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank Becka520 for this recipe.
