Cinnabon Shortcut No-Rise Cinnamon Rolls


  • 1 tube Pillsbury Simply french bread
  • 1 1/2 stick butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 4 ounces cream cheese 
  • 3 cups powdered sugar 
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Open Pillsbury bread and unroll it gently until it's flat. In a small bowl, mix together 1 stick of butter, cinnamon, and sugar until a thick paste forms. Spread this cinnamon paste across the bread dough, leaving 1/2″ at the top without the cinnamon-butter mixture. Starting from the cinnamon-slathered bottom end of your bread, roll firmly and pinch the top dough tightly to keep it from opening. Slice into 1 1/2″ pieces. Place in a 9″ round cake pan. Bake for 13-18 minutes, or just until the exterior of the bread dough turns light golden brown. Remove and frost immediately. 
To prepare frosting, while the cinnamon rolls are baking, place 3/4 stick butter, 5 ounces of cream cheese, and powdered sugar into a stand mixer. Beat until smooth. Slather over hot cinnamon rolls the moment they emerge from the oven. Serve with giant forks, glasses of cold milk, and enjoy!
