MAKE THE CINNAMON ROLLS:
- 4 TBSP butter, melted, plus more for greasing pan
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 pound pizza dough - easier to roll out when it's at room temperature
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Grease an 8x11-inch baking dish with butter -OR- line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon and sugar.
Lightly flour work surface then roll out the dough into a rectangle. Brush the dough all over with melted butter then sprinkle it with the cinnamon-sugar mix. Starting at the long end, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 rolls, about 1 1/2-inches each. Arrange each roll in the prepared baking dish about 1 inch apart.
Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes until the dough is fully cooked. Pizza dough gets crispier on the edges than traditional cinnamon roll dough so when in doubt, underbake the rolls to guarantee they remain soft. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly while you make the glaze.
MAKE THE GLAZE:
- 4 TBSP butter, at room temp
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 Tablespoons hot water (until desired consistency)
Stir together the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk in the hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the slightly warm cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.
