Frequently Asked Questions about this recipe:
Can I make my own bread dough?
Absolutely. I recommend making the dough from this recipe for my Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls.
Do I have to bake this in a loaf pan?
While I haven’t tested it any other way, I do think you could likely bake this “free form” on a baking sheet. I’d line the baking sheet first with parchment, place the twist dough on the prepared baking sheet, and bake as directed.
How should I store this recipe?
I typically recommend storing baked goods in an airtight container or zip-top bag.

- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pound bread dough (such as frozen Bridgford Ready-Dough, thawed or fresh pizza dough.)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (not melted butter)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, half-n-half, milk, or orange juice
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Coat a loaf pan with cooking spray; set aside.
- Place ball of dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 24- x 4-inch rectangle, sprinkling with additional all purpose flour if needed to avoid sticking to rolling pin.
- Spread butter over dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar mixture. Gently roll up dough, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Pinch seam to seal.
- Starting in the center of dough, began twisting one length of dough over the other braiding bread. Make at least 4 overlapping braids. Then twist braid a few more times.
- Place twisted loaf in prepared pan. Carefully use a sharp knife or scissors to slice a long shallow cut along the top of the bread. Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and let dough rest and dough rise in a warm place, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, pre heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Uncover dough, and place pan on a cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool in pan 10 minutes.
- While bread cools, whisk together powdered sugar and cream. Remove braided cinnamon bread from pan, and drizzle with icing.
