Roll out to 1/4 inch, and cut with egg shaped cutters. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake as directed, thanks for the idea, Betty.

Cinnamon Shamrock Rolls

Put a loaf of frozen bread* dough in a sprayed pan, cover with sprayed plastic wrap and leave in fridge the night before. You want the dough to be thawed but still cold.

Flour your clean surface, grab a pizza cutter or knife.

Slice loaf into strips. Pat and stretch them into a flat breadstick shape, then let them rest while you gather your ingredients. 1-2 Tablespoons of melted butter and basting brush
1/4 cup brown sugar
cinnamon sugar

Work the bread into long flat strips, laying them side by side.
Brush the dough with melted butter
Sprinkle heavily with brown sugar and cinnamon sugar
Roll up each breadstick starting on each end and meeting in the middle, making somewhat of a heart shape. Place three heart rolls on sprayed pan. Fold one of your shorter breadsticks in half, keeping the sugars on the inside. Place this at the base of the three hearts to form the stem.

Make the rest of the shamrock rolls following these steps.
Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and allow to double in size. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F 12-15 minutes.

When cooled drizzle with green tinted glaze.
