Punch dough down; let rest for 10 minutes. Divide in half. Roll each half into a 12-in, x 7-in, rectangle. Cut twelve 1 -in. strips from each rectangle. Twist each strip and place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets, shaping one end like a cane. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375 deg. for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely. Combine confectioners' sugar and milk; frost rolls. Yield: 2 dozen Recipe By : Taste of Home
