Cook Along with Angie & Chef Tessa: Pizza Dough Cinnamon Rolls

Pizza Dough Cinnamon Rolls

By Chef Tessa Turcotte-Novosedlik

Ingredients:

• 1 recipe Pizza Dough
• 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 2 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp Ground Nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp Salt
• 6oz Cream Cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
• 2 cups Icing Sugar
• 1/2 tbsp Vanilla Extract
• 1/8 tsp Salt

Instructions:

• Grease a 9x13” baking pan with softened butter or spray oil. Set aside.
• In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and mix well until combined. Set aside.
• Lightly flour a work surface. Place the pizza dough onto work surface and punch down to remove excess air. Roll the dough out to a roughly 24”x15” rectangle.
• Using a spatula, smooth the cinnamon filling over the whole dough rectangle. Starting on the longer end, roll the dough up tightly.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the cinnamon rolls into 12 equal portions and place into the greased 9x13” pan. Allow to rise for 20 minutes. While rising, preheat oven to 375F.
• Once the cinnamon rolls have doubled in size, place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden.
• While the buns are baking, make the cream cheese frosting. Place the softened cream cheese into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or use a hand mixer and beat well. Add in the icing sugar, butter, vanilla and salt. Whip well.
• When the rolls have slightly cooled, frost with cream cheese frosting and enjoy.
