Transfer dough to a greased bowl and cover it with a towel. Let dough rise for 60 minutes in a warm place.

- Dough: Punch down dough. Roll out dough into a rectangular shape and spread filling on top of dough leaving a 1 inch rim. Roll the dough into a log shape and slice into large rolls. Place into a greased 9” to 10” baking dish. Place towel over the rolls while you make your French toast topping. Preheat oven to 375° F.
