Heavenly Cinnamon Rolls

Holy cow... BEST cinnamon rolls ever.
Like, these are insane.





Mix In Bowl By Hand:
*3.5 c warm water
*1 c vegetable oil
*3/4 c sugar
*6 TBS yeast
Let stand for 15 minutes

Then add:
*3 eggs
*1 TBS salt
*10 cups flour
Beat until smooth and elastic

-Roll out 1/2 of the dough unto a thin rectangle
-Spread softened butter over surface
-Spread brown sugar on top!
-Sprinkle cinnamon on top



-Sprinkle a little flour on top and roll up.
-Slice 1 1/4 inch pieces
-Repeat with remaining dough
(Tip: I like to slice them with a long piece of thread. Hold each end of thread, slide under the rolls, bring up & cross! Make sense?)

Spray some glass dishes and stuff them in there.




Bake @ 375 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Now, the frosting! I've experimented with all different types of frosting, and I've found this one tastes the best with these cinnamon rolls.

* 1 stick butter
*4 TBS. milk
*1 tsp. vanilla
* 1.5 pounds (6 cups) powdered sugar

-Melt butter, milk, and vanilla. Stir in powdered sugar!
Frost rolls while warm!!


Just drip it all in there. mmmmmmmmm.
And as you can see, it makes a ton-- your friends will LOVE you!



(Side note: I realized that this picture does not feature the frosting recipe I included. This one has a yummy cream cheese frosting, which is good- but almost too sweet. There really is such a thing. Unfortunately.
Anyways, don't be alarmed if your frosting doesn't look like mine!)
