Main
Step 1
After 20 minutes of resting, turn the dough ball out onto a lightly floured surface. Lightly flour a rolling pin and roll your dough out to a 12 x 18 square or as close as possible. Using a spatula, evenly spread the softened butter over the entire surface of the dough. Pour your brown sugar and cinnamon mixture into the middle of the dough surface. Use a spoon or a spatula to push the mixture out to the edges.
Step 2
Starting length wise, roll the dough. Rolling the dough creates the spiral layers of dough and sugar. Once rolled into a log, use dental floss to cut your rolls. Slide the floss underneath of the log, cross the two ends and pull. The floss will cut them perfectly. Place your sliced rolls into your greased cast iron skillet and cover with plastic wrap. Put them into a warm, draft free place and allow them to rise for 2 hours.
Step 3
Set the EGG for indirect cooking with the convEGGtor at 350°F/176°C.
Step 4
Place your cast iron skillet with the cinnamon rolls on the EGG. Bake at 350°F/176°C for 15-20 minutes.
