Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven: Start by setting your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s fully heated and ready for the cinnamon rolls.
-
-
Prepare the dough: Unroll the French bread dough and place it flat on a clean surface. Using a brush, spread 1 tablespoon of margarine evenly across the surface of the dough. This will help the cinnamon-sugar filling stick, adding a rich and buttery flavor.
-
Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir until they are fully blended. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the margarine-coated dough, ensuring every inch is covered with the sweet cinnamon-sugar blend.
-
Roll the dough: Carefully roll the dough lengthwise, ensuring the cinnamon sugar filling stays inside. Once rolled, pinch the seams tightly to secure the roll. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 12 even slices.
-
Arrange the rolls: Place the 12 slices of dough into a single layer in a lightly greased baking dish. You can use a 9×13-inch baking pan or a similar-sized dish, depending on what you have available.
-
Bake the rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end of baking to ensure they don’t over-bake.
-
Prepare the glaze: While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar with 1/2 tablespoon of water and a small squeeze of fresh juice (either lemon or orange juice works well). Stir until the glaze is smooth and free of lumps.
-
Glaze the rolls: Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven and still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top of each roll. The glaze will melt into the rolls, giving them a sweet, sticky finish.
-
Serve and enjoy: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed warm, but they also taste great the next day when reheated. Perfect for a special occasion, a lazy weekend breakfast, or even as a sweet snack for the family!
Pro Tips:
- Dough options: If you want to make the process even quicker, you can substitute pre-made cinnamon roll dough from a tube. However, the French bread dough gives these rolls a unique, slightly crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior.
- Make ahead: You can prepare the rolls the night before and refrigerate them overnight. In the morning, just pop them in the oven for a warm, fresh breakfast in minutes.
- Customization: Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the glaze by adding more powdered sugar or a touch of vanilla extract for added flavor.
