Yum! Cinnamon Rolls

Yesterday I made cinnamon rolls for Ryan's Birthday Party (more on that later). The recipe I used is from Marie Madeline, and was pretty easy to do. I took this picture after they had been rising the second time for just thirty minutes. They turned out really good, so I wanted to share the recipe.

"Best Ever Cinnamon Rolls"

-1 2/3 cups warm milk

-2 Tbsp. yeast

-1/2 cup sugar

-1 stick butter, melted

-2 eggs

-1 1/2 tsp. salt

-6-7 cups unbleached flour (used half white, half wheat)

-cinnamon (about 3 Tbsp.), brown sugar (about 8-10 Tbsp.), and melted butter (almost 1 stick)

Combine warm milk, yeast and sugar. Let sit for five minutes. Then add melted butter, eggs, salt and four cups of flour. Mix thoroughly, add remaining flour. Dump out onto a thickly floured surface and knead well, (about 5 minutes,) until a soft dough is formed. Oil bowl lightly. Let rise for one hour. (Here comes the fun part!) After dough has risen for it's hour, roll out into a rectangle that is approximately 1/4 thick. Slather melted butter rather generously all over rectangle. Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar on according to taste. Simply roll the rectangle from one long edge to the other tightly. Slice (about a 1/2" thick), place in greased pan and let rise for another hour. (Make sure not to place your cinnamon rolls too closely in your pans, or the insides will pop up!) Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes (or until toothpick comes out clean).

If you'd like to... while your cinnamon rolls are still nice and warm, top with icing. To make icing, simply combine powder sugar, milk and vanilla until you have a nice smooth consistency. Pour over rolls.

I added a little bit of Pumpkin pie spice to the filling, and to the iceing and it tasted really good!

I hope you enjoy!
