Yes! I have a SUPER easy recipe.

In the frozen section at the grocery store, they have loaves of frozen bread dough. Buy it.

I put foil on top of a cookie sheet, spray it with Pam and place one of the bread dough on the cookie sheet, rub the frozen dough with a little butter so it doesn't dry out, loosely cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise. You can speed up the process by heating the oven to 175 degrees and placing a cake pan of water in the oven as it heats (and leave it in the oven on the lowest rack), turn the oven off and put the cookie sheet with bread dough in the oven, this will only take 2 hours to rise, make sure the plastic wrap is loose enough because the bread will grow.

Once the dough has risen, take out of the cooled oven, roll the dough out to the width of a thick pancake. Spread 1/4 cup of melted butter on top of the dough, add brown sugar, raisins, cinnamon, pecans, or whatever you'd like all over the flattened dough. Roll it up and cut into 1 1/2-2 inch pieces depending how big you want the cinnamon rolls, and place in a buttered 11 x 17 casserole pan.

Let the bread rise again for another hour or so, you can speed it up by putting the pan into a slightly warm oven again.

Bake at 350 for 17-20 minutes.

The glaze is just butter, powdered sugar, small amount of vanilla and milk.

This is super easy and takes minimal effort, and they are good!

I second Luv2Decorate. Frozen bread dough is the way to go. This is how I make mine and they always turn out great. You can even turn them into a type of ""sticky bun"" by adding pecans to the dough and making a caramel type icing.
