Cast Iron Cinnamon Roll

Difficulty: Intermediate
There are not many things better than a GIANT Cast Iron Cinnamon Roll.
Ingredients
18 Rhodes Yeast Dinner Rolls, dough thawed to room temperature
3 Tablespoons butter, melted
3/4 cup light brown sugar
5 teaspoons cinnamon
Icing
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3-4 Tablespoons milk
1 1/2 Tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 teaspoons vanilla or almond flavoring
Instructions
Combine rolls, on a lightly sprayed counter. Roll dough into a 10×24 inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over butter. With a pizza cutter, divide the dough into 5 long strips 2 x 24 inches.
Starting from a 2 inch side, roll the first strip up, making a cinnamon roll. Place the roll at the beginning of the second strip, rolling the same direction. Repeat with remaining strips making one giant cinnamon roll. Roll loosely to leave room for the dough to rise out rather than up.
Place the roll in the center of a sprayed 9 inch skillet or cake pan. Cover with plastic and let rise until roll fills the pan.
Cover with foil to prevent over browning. Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes or until center is done. Remove foil and allow to brown about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest.
Combine icing ingredients and spread over roll while still warm.
Baking Notes
This can be made on a pellet smoker, such as a Traeger Grill. Simply follow all instructions but bake only for 40-50 minutes, covering halfway through.

Can the cinnamon roll be done with the bread loaf instead of the pile of rolls?
Debbie Norris
Thank you for your question! You certainly can use the loaf of Bread to make that recipe. One loaf of bread is equivalent to 12 Dinner-size Rolls. So since this recipe calls for 18 Rolls you would use one and a half loaves of Bread.

Are your frozen bread products vegan?

Hi Linda. Rhodes Yeast Dinner Rolls, Yeast Texas Rolls and Rhodes White Bread are vegan.

What is the apProximate time it takes to risE to fill paN? I know rolls GENERALLY need to sit 3-5hrs Before baking. ThAnks
Debbie from Rhodes
You are right! It does take that long but if you can let it raise somewhere that’s warm, it won’t take as long. And you have already worked with the dough so it shouldn’t take as long maybe 2 hours or less. I can’t give you a exact time. Just watch it and bake it when it fills that pan.

(Don’t know why my computer won’t let mE change cases. I’m not yellinG!)
