# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Bread Dough
01 -
1 loaf frozen bread dough (16 ounces), thawed
→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating
02 -
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
03 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar
04 -
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
→ Glaze
05 -
1/2 cup powdered sugar
06 -
1 to 2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan using butter or a light coating of cooking spray.
02 -
On a flat surface, roll out the thawed bread dough into a rectangle approximately 6 x 12 inches.
03 -
With a sharp knife, cut slits across the top of the dough, ensuring not to slice fully through. Brush the dough generously with melted butter.
04 -
In a bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture liberally over the dough, pressing it into the slits and coating the surface completely.
05 -
Transfer the prepared dough into the greased loaf pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
06 -
In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and vanilla extract until smooth, adding extra milk if needed for desired drizzling consistency.
07 -
Remove bread from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm bread before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For the best texture, ensure the dough is fully thawed before rolling and shaping.
