Tips:

Use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook to make the dough. This will make the process much easier and faster.
Be sure to let the dough rise in a warm place for at least an hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will help the rolls to be light and fluffy.
When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a light touch. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming tough.
If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
To make the cinnamon sugar filling, simply combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. You can also add a little bit of nutmeg or cardamom for extra flavor.
When spreading the filling on the dough, be sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edges. This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out while the rolls are baking.
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
