  • Once kneaded, place dough in a greased bowl, cover and place in a warm area to rise for an hour or until it doubles in size.
  • While dough is rising, grease a 9 by 11 inch pan and set aside.

  • When dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface in a rectangle or square (about 16 to 18 inches).
  • Spread your sugar filling evenly on your rolled out dough.
  • Roll your dough up then with a sharp or finely serated knife, cut it into about 15 pieces.

  • Once slightly cooled but still warm, spread the frosting all over your rolls. Enjoy warm.
