Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound frozen bread dough thawed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 8 Tablespoons salted butter melted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 Tablespoons lemon juice (or water)
Instructions
- Coat two 9” x 5” loaf pans with non-stick spray and line with parchment paper.
- Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish; set aside. Pour melted butter into another shallow dish; set aside.
- Cut the dough in half lengthwise and flatten each piece into a 9” x 4” rectangle. Make 4 crosswise slits along the top of each loaf, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Dip the dough in melted butter, coating both sides and inside each slit. A pastry brush can be used as an alternative.
- Roll the butter-coated dough in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring both sides and slits are well covered.
- Place the dough in the prepared pans, pouring any remaining butter over the tops and into the slits. Sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top. Allow to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 300° degrees. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Once removed from the oven, brush the tops with extra melted butter if desired. Cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack while preparing the glaze.
- Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice or water in a small bowl. Drizzle the glaze over the warm loaves.

Extra melted butter on top adds a delightful shine and flavor.
Make sure to check for doneness; the bread should be golden brown.
