  4. Roll the Dough:
    • Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other to form a log.
  5. Slice Into Rolls:
    • Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
  6. Bake:
    • Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Prepare the Icing:
    • In a bowl, mix together powdered sugar substitute, skim milk, and vanilla extract to make the icing.
