I’m a total believer in that there’s nothing wrong with cheating a little… so I’m going to start out by telling you these cinnamon rolls are prepared with ready-made pizza dough.  

Everyone is going to love these so much, you’re going to wonder why you haven’t made them more often!

If you’re like me, when the sweet tooth hits, it hits fast… and I mean lightening fast.  

How long does it take to make these cinnamon rolls?

These cinnamon rolls come together in just 35 minutes total from start to finish.  Just 10 minutes prep time and 25 minutes baking time is all that’s needed!

I like to add chopped pecans to my cinnamon rolls because I enjoy the crunchy texture and flavor, but they’re totally optional in this recipe.

Enjoy!

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.  Grease an oven-safe skillet or round cake pan.
2. Stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until combined.  Set aside.
