Directions

1. Thaw dough in refrigerator 12 hours.
2. Place dough on a lightly floured surface; let rest 5 minutes. Pat or roll dough into a 15 x 8-inch rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick).
3. Spread butter evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.

5. Place a long piece of dental floss or string under dough 1 1/4 inches from end of roll. Cross ends of string over top of roll; slowly pull ends to cut through dough.
6. Place slice, cut side up, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Coat slice with cooking spray. Repeat procedure with remaining roll of dough, placing slices 2 inches apart on prepared pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85), free from drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

8. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
9. Combine powdered sugar and milk, stirring until smooth.
