"I took a class on making cinnamon rolls and this recipe was different for me. Pudding in the mix and a very slack dough with little kneading. They are delicious!!"

5. Punch down dough and divide in half. Flour your board and roll out half the dough until it is a rectangle of appx 9x12.
6. Apply a layer of butter to the dough and sprinkle half of granulated sugar, half brown sugar and half of cinnamon. Use more sugar and cinnamon or less depending on how you like your rolls.
7. Roll up dough starting with the long side and and cut into 12 rolls appx 1 inch thick and repeat with second half.
8. Put into greased pan and cover with plastic wrap sprayed with oil and let rise until double.
9. remove plastic covering and bake at 350 until golden brown. Apply butter to tops after they come out of the oven.
