This dough is awesome!

1 batch of Bolillo dough*

https://aintnocookinglikemommas.blogspot.com/2023/03/fast-easy-bolillos.html

I used half to make cinnamon rolls and half to make bolillos.

I patted dough down to make a rectangle shape. 

Be careful not to get dough too thin.

I rubbed spreadable butter all over leaving a 1/2 inch empty space close to edge.

I mixed 3/4 c sugar and 3 T cinnamon together and sprinkled over butter.

Roll tightly and pat ends in.

Pinch seams.

Cut in half then each half in rolls.

I got 12.

Spray pan heavily with nonstick.

Bake middle rack, preheated 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool 10 minutes before frosting.

Frosting

1/4 c spreadable cream cheese 

1/4 c spreadable butter

1 t vanilla 

1/4 c powdered sugar

Mix well with a fork.
