Super Easy Cinnamon Rolls

This was part of my husband's Father's Day gift. Food is definitely the way to his heart! These are so super simple. I did try them with whole wheat dough instead of white. Thought I would try to make a "healthier version" of cinnamon rolls (if that's possible). But the best part is you don't have to fuss over making your own dough. Take some help from the grocery store!

Here's how you do it...

Ingredients:

Cinnamon Rolls
*1 pack of your favorite bread dough. Use only 2 loaves (white or wheat)
*1 cup brown sugar
*1/2 stick butter
* cinnamon (your desired amount)
*1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
*flour (just for rolling them out)

Cream cheese icing
*1/3 cup fat free cream cheese (or you can do full fat, but with everything in it you won't be able to tell.)
*1 stick butter
*1 cup powdered sugar
*1 tsp. vanilla extract

Thaw 2 loaves of bread dough in the refrigerator all day. Sprinkle counter with flour. Take both loaves and kneed them together until they come together as 1 loaf. Melt 1/2 stick of butter in microwave. With a pastry brush grease 2 9x13 pans with the butter then set aside. Dust your rolling pin with flour and roll dough out to about 1 inch thickness. (Dough will spring back. Don't worry if your dough doesn't seem long enough.) Then brush dough liberally with butter (hey it's not all healthy, but it's good!). Sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon (your desired amount), and 1/2 cup pecans all over dough. Roll up dough like a jelly role. Stretch out roll (that is why you don't worry about dough springing back). Cut into 2 in. thick pieces and place in greased 9x13 pans. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit overnight to rise (it will double in size). In the morning preheat oven to 400 degrees. Take off plastic wrap and bake for 20 min. While that happens combine all icing ingredients with a mixer until fluffy. Ice warm rolls and enjoy!

Happy eating!
