Ingredients:
- 1 package Trader Joe's plain pizza dough*
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375° degrees. Combine cinnamon and sugar. On a lightly-floured surface, roll pizza dough into a 9-inch square. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, leaving 1/2 inch border of plain dough around edges.
Roll dough to form a tight log, pinching to seal the seam shut. With the seam side down, cut evenly into six pieces with a serrated knife. Place in buttered pan, and brush tops with any remaining butter.
Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for a few minutes before icing.
*You can substitute 2 packages of Pillsbury 's French Loaf dough for the Trader Joe's pizza dough. The Pillsbury dough also makes tasty rolls, but they not rise as much in the oven.
Icing**
1 tablespoon whipped cream cheese
1 tablespoon buttermilk
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
Whisk cream cheese and buttermilk in large bowl until thick and smooth. Sift in confectioners' sugar; whisk until smooth glaze forms, about 30 seconds.
Drizzle glaze over buns with a spoon. Or, if you want to get fancy, fill a plastic Ziploc bag with the glaze, cut off the tip of one corner, and drizzle in a professional-looking zigzag. Serve warm.
**Another really easy icing is a quick mix of a little milk, powdered sugar, and a dash of vanilla.
A can of cinnamon rolls could also be used in a hurry!
