Easy Cinnamon Rolls 2
Ingredients
1/2 * This dough is for 24 rolls, you may want to cut it in**
2 tablespoons yeast
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 stick butter, softened
3 eggs
12 cups flour
Cinnamon Filling: (this is enough for ½ a batch)
6 tablespoons butter, softened
2 teaspoons cinnamon
cup sugar
Cinnamon Glaze: (this is enough for ½ a batch)
9 cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoons butter, softened
cup milk
Preparation
1
Heat the milk in the microwave. Combine the warm water, yeast and a dash of sugar in the bottom of your mixer. Mix it up just a bit and then let it sit for about 3 minutes. It will get bubbly.
2
Add 3 C of the flour and mix for about 1 minute. Then add the scalded milk. Add the all other ingredients, but the rest of the flour. Mix for about 1 minute. Add the rest of the flour 1 C at a time. You have enough flour when the dough scrapes the side of the bowl clean, then mix for 7 minutes. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
3
Divide the dough into two balls. Let the balls rest for about 3 minutes on your counter. Spray your counter top with cooking spray and roll out one of the dough balls onto it with a rolling pin. Spread the butter over the top of the dough, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough up and cut the rolled up dough into 12 equal parts.
4
Place the rolls onto a spayed cookie sheet. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Let the rolls rise in a warm oven. I turn mine to 170 degrees. Let the rolls rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Turn your oven up to 350 (let the rolls stay in the oven while it increases in temperature). Bake for about 20 minutes.
