Method
Step by step
- 01
Take bread out of the freezer and thaw on greased cookie sheet on counter top.
- 02
Note: use bread as soon as it is thawed – you don’t want it to rise just yet!
- 03
In a small bowl, combine butter, cinnamon and brown sugar.
- 04
Roll thawed dough out to a large rectangle. (about 12×6)
- 05
Spread sugar mixture over the entire rectangle of dough.
- 06
Roll dough in a log shape, keeping dough taught.
- 07
Moisten edge slightly and seal shut.
- 08
Slice into 10 pieces and arrange in greased 6-Quart slow cooker crock.
- 09
Cover with a dish towel and let sit for 30-60 minutes or until rolls have doubled in size.
- 10
Pour Heavy Cream over top cinnamon rolls.
- 11
Place crock insert into slow cooker and cover.
- 12
Cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or just until cooked through.
- 13
Mix 3 T. milk/cream and powdered sugar to make a glaze. Drizzle glaze over cinnamon rolls before serving.NOTE: I’ve found that the amount of time varies greatly between my slow cookers so I would suggest testing this recipe in your slow cooker before making for company. If you’re like me, you’ll have plenty of taste testers! 🙂
