Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Open the tube of bread dough and unroll it onto a clean piece of parchment paper.
- Spread melted butter over the top of the dough, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, then roll both edges of the dough in toward the center.
- Use a very sharp knife to slice dough into 1-inch pieces.
- Place the slices in an 8-inch nonstick cake pan, pinching the bottom of the dough to give each cinnamon roll a nice heart shape.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or just until the dough is golden brown. Remove, frost with icing, sprinkle with sprinkles. Share with someone you love, and enjoy!
