Bringing It All Together
Step 15
Rolling out dough.
Step 16
Once dough has risen, line a cutting board or countertop with parchment paper. Place the dough on the parchment paper and sprinkle with a bit of flour. Roll the dough out into a rectangle about 10 inches long, 8 inches wide, and ¼" thick. Try to keep the edges straight and uniform, trimming the dough if necessary.
Step 17
Spread the filling.
Step 18
Spread the cinnamon roll filling over the dough, using your fingers or a spatula, leaving about 1 inch free of filling along the edges of the dough.
Step 19
Roll the dough.
Step 20
Using the parchment paper (see how-to images and/or video for guidance), begin rolling the dough length-wise upwards until you have a uniform, tightly packed cylinder of dough. Slice into 8 even pieces. Place into a round baking or cast-iron pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes longer.
Step 21
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Step 22
Bake.
Step 23
Once dough has risen, uncover, place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until firm, turning golden and the filling is bubbling.
Step 24
Let cool.
Step 25
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before spreading the icing over the top before serving.
Step 26
Serve and enjoy!
