3. Shape the Wreath:
9
Roll the dough into a large rectangle (about 16x10 inches).
10
Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
11
Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log.
12
Place the roll on a parchment-lined baking sheet and form it into a circle. Pinch the ends together to seal.
13
Use kitchen scissors or a sharp knife to cut slits 1 inch apart around the ring, leaving the center intact. Gently turn each cut piece outward to expose the filling.
14
Cover with a towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon roll wreath.
