Instructions

Step 1

Transfer room temperature pizza dough to a lightly floured surface and roll out with a rolling pin until about 10-12" by 16-18". Make sure it is the same thickness all around.

Step 2

In a small bowl, add hot melted butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Whisk until combined.

unsalted butter¼ cup

Step 3

Spread the cinnamon butter mixture on top of the dough as best as you can, leaving about 1 cm of a border all around.

Step 4

Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough and form a log.

Step 5

Taking a sharp knife, score the dough into thirds (this will help you cut even pieces). Then take each piece and cut into 3 even cinnamon rolls.

Step 6

Cover a 9×9 pan with parchment paper. This will help with removing the cinnamon rolls and keeping all the gooeyness inside them.

Step 7

Transfer the cinnamon rolls into the pan and cover with a cloth. Place in a warm environment (like in front of a sunny window) for 30 minutes to rise.

Step 8

Preheat oven to 350℉. Then pour heavy whipping cream on top and in the pan.

Step 9

Bake the cinnamon rolls uncovered for 30-35 minutes.

Step 10

While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the cream cheese frosting. In a stand mixer, beat butter and cream cheese until whipped and fluffy (about 3 minutes).

Step 11

Add in powdered sugar and continue beating for another 2 minutes. Then add in the vanilla and 1 tbsp whipping cream and keep mixing. Add another tbsp of cream if you'd like a runnier consistency.
