These rolls are super easy and so very good. Once you try them, you probably won't go back to any other yeast roll recipes.

Tip: You can easily make cinnamon rolls by brushing melted butter and cinnamon sugar prior to rolling the dough into crescent shape. When hot
out of the oven, brush with butter, then brush with glaze.

Glaze recipe:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. almond extract (optional)
Just stir together in bowl and drizzle glaze over hot rolls.
