preparation
1. Combine the filling ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until smooth, stirring, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
2. Roll the dough into a 14-inch square.
3. Pour the filling mixture over the dough and spread it, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
4. Start rolling the dough by folding over a tiny bit of one end and pinching it and continuing to roll it, bit by bit, as tightly as possible.
5. Roll up the dough as tightly as you can.
6. Trim off the uneven ends, then slice the roll into 1-inch-thick rolls by sliding a piece of dental floss under the roll and then pulling the ends, effectively cutting the roll into slices.
7. Arrange the slices on an oiled or nonstick sheet pan. If you want the rolls to stick together, leave no room between them; otherwise leave at least 2 inches. Glaze the cinnamon rolls with egg wash then bake until golden brown.
