Instructions

Step 1: Dough Preparation

Step 4: Assemble the Rolls

  1. Punch down dough. Roll into 16×12 inch rectangle.

  2. Spread butter, then cheesecake mixture, leaving edges clean.

  3. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mix.

  4. Roll up from the long edge. Slice into 12 rolls.

Step 5: Bake
