A Southern comfort food---became famous served at Dolly Parton's theme park.
Leftovers (unlikely) can be reheated in microwave 12-15 seconds.

Cinnamon Bread

ING lb loaf frozen bread dough (or make your own), stick butter, unsalted, 1/2 cup sugar, 2-3 tb cinnamon.
Glaze 2 cups conf, 2 tb butter, melted 2 tsp vanilla 4 tb whole milk

METHOD Thaw loaf as per pkg - best to thaw in refigerator overnight. Once thawed, let rise in glass bowl or pan in a warm spot, about 2 hours til almost doubled in size. Make four large horizontal slits in loaf close to the bottom, but not all of the way through. A bread knife works best.Melt the stick of butter and put it into a shallow pan. Dunk dough into melted butter, making sure butter gets onto every surface and into the crevices.

Now quickly roll buttered in cinnamon-sugar mixture on sheetpan. Apply thickly and deeply into crevices, use all of the cinnamon-sugar. Next, place dough in well-buttered oblong baking dish. Cover with a towel, and let rise for about 30 min.

FINAL Bake 30 minutes. Serve hot with glaze on the side, or cool a bit and spread glaze on top. Can also serve a ramekin of apple butter as a dip.

Glaze Combine and blend ing to thoroughly mix.

This is so easy to make. I make something similar found on youtube called Cinnamon pull apart bread. I add chopped pecans. I roll out the same frozen bread dough, spread butter on the sheet, add the cinnamon and sugar mix, and pecans, cut into wide strips about 10 for a loaf, stack the strips in 3’s. Cut the strip stacks in 3 inch sections or so. Tilt your buttered loaf pan, stack the strip piles. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at least an hour and then bake. It all comes out as one loaf and I make the same icing. It pulls apart great for small sections. You are right about the 15 seconds for reheating and I wrap in wax paper first.
