Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 12 frozen dinner rolls
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Thaw Rolls: Thaw 12 frozen dinner rolls. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover them, and let them thaw at room temperature until they can be rolled out.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Once rolls are thawed and ready to use, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray.
- Flatten Rolls: Flatten the rolls to about ¼ inch thick.
- Coat in Butter Mixture: In a bowl, mix ¼ cup unsalted butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Coat each roll in the butter mixture and place them in a stack on top of each other.
- Place in Loaf Pan: Once all the rolls have been coated, take the stack and place it sideways in the loaf pan, fitting them to fill the pan.
- Brush with Remaining Butter: Brush any remaining butter mixture over the top of the loaf once the pan has been filled.
- Rise: Cover and let the loaf rise for about an hour until it’s risen almost to the top of the pan.
- Bake: When the loaf has risen, bake it for 30-35 minutes. The dough should be browned where it’s exposed, and the loaf should temp out to 190°F (88°C). Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool completely before glazing.
- Make the Glaze: While the loaf cools, make the glaze. In a bowl, mix together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons whole milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Start with 1 tablespoon of milk and add more as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
- Glaze and Serve: When the loaf is cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and serve!

- You can add other spices to the butter mixture, such as nutmeg or cardamom.
- For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
