Quick & Easy Cinnamon Rolls (aka Princess Leia Cinnamon Rolls)

I made these {Quick and Easy} Cinnamon Rolls for the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie. They can also be called Princess Leia Cinnamon Rolls because, well, they look kind of like her hair! Amiright?!

So, I have to ask, who went and saw the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens last night or this morning?

Here’s a little tidbit for you … the very first movie I ever saw in the movie theater was Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. I know that I’m dating myself here, but that movie came out in 1983 … 1983, y’all!!

Please do not hate me when I tell you this …. I don’t understand the whole Star Wars thing – like, why is it as huge as it is?! My kids are into the movies – and they can tell you all about them, but I just never understood everyone else’s fascination with the movies. My kiddos love the movies so much that Grandma is getting them the series for Christmas – they are going to be soooo happy! I can’t even tell you what any of the movies are about! Lame, I know! I hope I’m not the only one who just doesn’t get it! My kids have convinced Brian that we need to go see the movie this week – so, we’ll see how that goes!

Ingredients 

  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough, 10 oz.
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Remove the pizza dough from the package and unroll onto a lightly-floured work surface.
  • Brush the melted butter over the pizza dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar evenly over the buttered dough. Starting on the long side, roll into a log. Pinch the seam to seal well. Cut the log into one-inch thick slices.
  • Place the slices onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for five minutes before transferring the rolls to a wire rack to cool for five minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze by stirring the milk and powdered sugar into a paste. Add the vanilla and mix well. Frost the tops of the cinnamon rolls. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Make sure your knife is very sharp so you don’t squish the rolls.

    I like the recipe as it does sound good and easy but doesn't the pizza dough have gluten in it?
