Brush with olive oil. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon dried rosemary and 1 teaspoon parsley over dough. Chop up about 1/2 tomato finely, and sprinkle that over dough. Sprinkle with sea salt (I used Helga's herb/sea salt combination) and garlic powder. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup mozzarella or parmesan cheese over all.

Clone of Cinnabon
1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F)
2 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
4-1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
Filling:
2-1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
Frosting:
1 - (3oz) package cream cheese
1/4 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Place dough ingredients (first 7) in the pan of the bread machine in the
order recommended by the manufacturer. Select the dough cycle & start.
2. After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured
surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown
sugar and cinnamon.
3. Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and
sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12
rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise
until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees
F.
4. Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. (I bake
mine a couple of extra minutes because I think Cinnabons are a little
too doughy.) While the rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup
butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting
on warm rolls before serving.
I have baked, frosted and frozen the rolls and then put them in the microwave on a low setting to thaw and serve. They seem to freeze well.
