Cinnamon Rolls
Dough: (dough is made in a bread machine)
1 Cup warm milk
2 Eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup margarine, melted
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 tsp bread machine yeast (I just use on package of the active dry yeast)
Filling:
1 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened
Frosting:
1 (3oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer (I put the ingredients in the pan in the order that they are listed above).Select dough cycle; press start
after 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, cinnamon and butter (I would recommend melting the butter and then mixing it together, the mixture will spread on the dough easier).
Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with the cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 16 rolls using a string or thread. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes (FYI you will probably need to bake them longer). While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
*** These rolls are FABULOUS. They do take quite a bit of time to make, so make sure you aren't going to need to go anywhere while you are making them Ü
