Divide dough in half. Roll out half into 14 x 7" rectangle. Sprinkle with ½ of sugar mixture. Roll up like jelly roll from long side.

Cut into 12 slices. Place in greased 13 x 9 x 2" baking pan. Repeat with remaining dough/ Let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Bake in 350 degree oven 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans; cool on racks. While still warm, glaze with Thin Orange Icing.
