How To Make Giant Cinnamon Roll

- Roll out the dough and cover it with the melted butter. Following this, generously sprinkle over the cinnamon-brown sugar mix.
- Roll this dough tight and push it flat. Slash the dough every two inches and twist each section to look like a flower.
- Variety in creativity is encouraged in this step. Bake this beauty at 350��F (175��C) for about 30 minutes or till the roll turns golden brown.
- While the roll cools down, whisk together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract for icing. Once the roll is cool enough, lavishly pour over the icing.
