What to do with the Rhodes 3pk?

This is what we had this weekend. Talk about a very happy belly!!!

What to do with the Rhodes 3pk? Loaf 1 = Make Bagels (makes 5-6) & then use for Bacon, Egg & Cheese Bagels for breakfast along with Loaf 2 = a yummy loaf of Cinnamon Bread. Then Loaf 3 = Add 1/2 tsp of Basil, 1/2 tsp Oregano & 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese to the last loaf & roll out into a Pizza Crust. Poke with a fork & prebake the crust @ 425 for about 10 min. Then top with pizza sauce, cheese & pepperoni’s, sausage or whatever you want. YUM!!

1 Loaf Rhodes™ Frozen Bread Dough, barely thawed or 12 Rhodes™ Dinner Rolls , thawed but still cold

2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar

Dip each dough piece in the melted butter and then in the cinnamon sugar. Line them up in a sprayed 9x5-inch loaf pan, each piece on it's edge, to make a loaf shape.
