    Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.

    Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.

    Place seam-side down.

    Trim off any unevenness on either end.

    Cut the log in half, then divide each half into 7 evenly sized pieces, about 1½ inches (4 cm) thick.

    Place 7 cinnamon rolls in each skillet or cake pan, one in the center, six around the sides.
