Instructions

- Activate Yeast: Dissolve yeast in warm water until foamy. Add sugar, butter, eggs, salt, prepared pudding, and flour. Mix until smooth.
- Knead the Dough: Gradually add remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface until smooth.
- Rise and Roll: Let dough rise, then roll into a rectangle. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.

- Glaze and Serve: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Using pudding mix in the dough makes these rolls extra soft and fluffy.
- For a creamier glaze, consider adding cream cheese to the icing mixture.
- The dough can be prepped ahead and refrigerated overnight for fresh baking in the morning.
