1/4 cup melted butter or margarine

1/2 cup of granulated sugar

1/2 cup of brown sugar

1   teaspoon of Cinnamon

1/2 cups of walnuts (optional)

1/2 cups of raisons (optional)

Let frozen bread dough thaw and rise until double in size.(aprox 30 - 60 min)  Punch down the dough and put loaves together.  Roll out dough to a 16 x 10 inch rectangular shape.  The dough should be 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.  Spread top of dough with all but 2 Tablespoons of melted butter. 

 

Sprinkle sugars, cinnamon, nuts, and raisons evenly over dough.  With the back of a spoon, gently pat sugars into dough.  With long side of dough, roll up in jelly roll fashion pulling the dough towards you as you roll it up.  Cut into 9 even slices. (aprox 1 3/4 inch slices)  The rolls will be large.  Place slices into a 13 x 9 inch greased cake pan.  They should be touching one another on all sides.  Let rise until rolls are puffy and fill the entire pan.(aprox 30 - 60 min)in a warm area.

 

Bake at 350 - 375 degrees for 25 - 30 min.  Rolls should be golden brown and make a hollow sound when gently tapped on top.  Remove pan from the oven  Brush rolls with remaining melted butter.  Let rolls cool in the pan.  Drizzle with Glaze.

 

GLAZE:

 

1 Cup powered sugar

1 teaspoon of Vanilla

1 tablespoon of milk

 

Mix together until smooth and thin enough to drizzle over the rolls.

 

Tips:

 

For quick thawing of dough, place each loaf of dough in a microwave safe dish and cover with plastic wrap or wax paper.  Place in microwave and cook on low or thaw settings (level 3 for 6 minutes in a 700w microwave) per loaf.  Rotate the dough every 3 minutes.

 

The dough may be thawed in the refrigerator overnight.  Remove dough from tray, leave it in plastic bag or put in plastic wrap.

 

For quick rising, place thawed dough in large greased bowl.  Grease the top of the dough with melted butter, margerine or spray shortening (this adds to the rising process).  Place in a warm oven (140 degrees) and let dough rise to double it's size.
