CINNAMON ROLLS FROM FROZEN BREAD DOUGH - EASY

Steps:

• Lightly grease 2 round cake pans with butter.
• Roll bread dough out to an 18x6-inch rectangle and brush with melted butter. Mix brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon in a bowl; sprinkle over dough. Roll dough into a log, starting at the long edge. Moisten edge with a little water; seal the edge. Cut log into 20 slices; arrange rolls, cut sides down, in prepared cake pans. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour heavy cream over dough.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• Stir confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth, adding more milk or sugar as needed so the mixture is easily drizzled. Drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls to serve.

FROZEN BREAD DOUGH

Steps:

• I sprinkle the yeast on the 4 cups water and add the 1/2 cup sugar and let the yeast work.
• In a large bowl or bread mixer mix powdered milk, 4 cups flour, salt and butter.
• Add the yeast water and mix (you can use an electric mixer) as you keep adding flour you will need to knead by hand (or use a bread mixer) Add flour until you get a stiff dough (you might not need all of flour, it depends on the moisture content of your flour) Knead for 15 minutes and then cover with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Divide dough into 4 equal balls.
• Smooth balls and place on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap.
• Freeze balls until firm and then transfer to freezer bags and store in freezer.
• Recommended storage time 1 month.
• To Bake: remove frozen dough from freezer, open freezer bag and leave dough in bag to thaw or place on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap to thaw.
• It is very important to have a plastic covering over dough to thaw (dough really dries out without the plastic covering).
• (It usually takes about 4 hours to thaw) Shape into loaves or leave round or make pizza crust or rolls or whatever you do with freezer dough.
• Let rise until doubled (1 1/2 hours) Bake regular bread loaves at 350 for 35 minutes.
• I like to brush the bread loaf with 1 beaten egg and return it to the oven for 5 minutes.
