Preparation

Step 1

Remove the plastic and press dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Flatten dough with your hands for a bit, then use a rolling pin to shape the dough into a 20-inch-high by 22-inch-wide rectangle. Use your hands to stretch the dough as necessary to the proper dimensions



Spread 1/2 cup of butter spread over the top of the dough, but leave the bottom 1 inch of dough uncoated with spread.



Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and xantham gum (or cornstarch) in a medium bowl. Pour the cinnamon/sugar onto the dough and use your hands to spread it to the edges, except leave the bottom 1 inch uncovered with cinnamon/sugar. Run a rolling pin over the filling to flatten it into the butter spread.



Roll the dough tightly starting at the top. Stretch the dough a little as you roll it down, so that you have around 5 rotations by the time you get to the bottom. Brush a little water over the bottom 1 inch uncoated strip of dough and complete the rolling. Mark the approximate middle of the dough roll, then use a ruler to make 5 marks every 2 inches to the left of the middle mark, and 5 marks every 2 inches to the right of the middle mark. Use a serrated knife to cut at each mark to make 10 rolls (the ends are tossed).



Place 6 rolls evenly spaced out on parchment paper in a 9x13-inch baking pan and the other 4 in a parchment-lined 9x9-inch pan. Place the pans into your oven along with a large bowl or pan full of boiling water. Rolls should proof for about 1 hour or until nearly full size (touching) in the pan.



When rolls have proofed to almost full size, preheat a convection oven to 325° (350° if not convection). Bake for 16 to 20 minutes or until light brown and rolls register around 170° to 175° in the middle. Spin the pans around 180° approximately halfway through the baking.



While dough bakes, make frosting by whipping butter spread, cream cheese, salt, vanilla extract and lemon extract for 5 to 10 minutes on high speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, then mix again (slowly at first, then on high speed), for 30 seconds.



When the rolls come out of the oven, immediately cover each with the frosting.
