minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

dough; divide in half. Turn one portion of dough onto a lightly floured
surface; roll into an 18x10-in. rectangle. Brush with half of the melted
butter to within 1/4 in. of edges; sprinkle with half of the sugar
mixture. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to
seal. Cut into 12 slices. Repeat with remaining dough and filling
ingredients.
Place all slices in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan, cut side down. Cover
with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled,
about 40 minutes. Preheat oven to 355°.
Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on a wire rack.

water and enough confectioners' sugar to reach desired consistency.
