- 1/2 cup softened butter 8 tablespoons
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- Mix the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla in a small bowl, set aside.
- Spread the butter evenly over the dough and sprinkle with the sugar mixture.
- Starting at the long end, roll up tightly and pinch the seam shut.
- Slice 2" thick slices and place them in a greased 9" round cake pan or you can use a greased loaf pan or muffin tin. Pace the rolls about 1/2" apart.

Notes
Please note that using a can of Pillsbury rolled pizza dough will be significantly smaller than the one pound ball of frozen pizza dough called for in this recipe. The recipe should make six rolls, 2 inches thick. You can also place your rolls in a greased loaf tin or muffin tin to rise and bake if you prefer.
