Cinnamon Buns
Yield: Makes 24 buns
Ingredients:
1
recipe Sweet Yeast Dough (recipe)

1/2
cup granulated sugar

2
teaspoons ground cinnamon

2
tablespoons butter, melted

1/2
cup raisins (optional)

2
cups sifted powdered sugar

3
tablespoons milk

1/2
teaspoon vanilla



 
Preparation:
1.
Prepare Sweet Yeast Dough; let rise as directed.

2.
Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in small bowl; set aside. Grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans.

3.
Cut dough in half. Roll one half of dough into 12X8-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface with lightly floured rolling pin. Brush rectangle with half of melted butter; sprinkle with half of sugar mixture and half of raisins, if desired. Starting with 1 (12-inch) side, roll up jelly-roll style. (Do not roll dough too tightly because centers of rolls will pop up as they rise.) Repeat with remaining dough.

4.
Cut each roll into 12 (1-inch slices) with dental floss or floured sharp knife. To use dental floss, position it under roll; bring up ends of floss, cross over center and gently pull floss to cut each slice.

5.
Place slices 1/2 inch apart in prepared pans. Rolls will spread as they rise. Cover pans with towels; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.

6.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until rolls are golden brown. Cool in pans on wire racks 5 minutes.

7.
Combine powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in small bowl until smooth. Spread mixture over rolls. Serve warm.
