THIS RECIPE CAN NOT GET ANY EASIER! By using frozen bread dough you can make a delicious cinnamon nut roll to take to your next holiday party, or take to work for your coworkers. My mom "Joy" used to make this amazing cinnamon nut bread every holiday season and take it to her work place.

Frozen bread dough is the main ingredient. It truly is so versatile! It can be found in the freezer isle next to the frozen bread rolls. Besides the bread dough, most of the ingredients are already in your home. Cinnamon, butter, brown sugar and nuts.

Recipe for Joy's Cinnamon Nut Roll

1 loaf frozen bread dough thawed (follow package instructions)

brown sugar

cinnamon

1/2 - 1 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 stick of butter

Roll out bread dough so the size is approx 2 rolling pin lengths by 1 rolling pin length.

Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. Add pads of butter. Make sure all ingredients are evenly distributed. Leaving 1 inch on sides and bottom for a little water to help make a good seal. There will be a little leakage. Do not worry. It is part of the process. Use water and dab it along the side and end seams. This will help with the leakage problem. Roll dough up tightly and transfer to baking sheet with sides. Brush with butter and bake at 350 for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown.

ICING

While bread is cooling.....Add 1 cups powdered sugar, 2 Tbs melted butter, 1/2 t vanilla, and water. Start with a teaspoon at a time of water until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over almost cooled bread and eat!
