- Sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of the butter.
- Roll the dough starting at the 9" end.
- Place the dough roll in a greased 9x5 bread loaf pan seam side down.

- Bake the bread at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
- While the bread is cooling, prepare the frosting.

- Once the bread is mostly cool, spread or drizzle the frosting on the top of the bread.
Notes
*This bread is amazing warm, right from the oven. But it will slice much better if it sits and cools to room temperature. *It also makes a delicious french toast!
