Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°.

  • Starting on the long side, roll the dough up.
  • Use a serrated knife to slice into 1 1/2 inch thick rolls.
  • Butter an 11 x 9 inch baking dish.
  • Place rolls into the baking dish and slightly flatten with your hands.
  • Bake for 15- 17 minutes or until rolls are cooked through.
  • Remove from oven.
  • Whisk the powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl.
  • Drizzle over warm rolls.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator 2-3 days.
