Ingredients
- 3 loaves frozen bread dough
- ¾ cup melted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¼ cup ground cinnamon
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Milk (for icing)
Instructions
- Thaw the frozen dough at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare three 9-inch bread pans with non-stick cooking spray.
- Cut each loaf of thawed dough into four deep slices without detaching them fully.
- Coat each loaf generously with melted butter, ensuring you get it into the cuts.
- Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a wide dish and roll the loaves in this mixture, stuffing each cut well.
- Place the loaves in prepared pans, cover with a tea towel, and let them rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- While cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk to create a smooth icing. Drizzle over warm bread before serving.
