Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 5 –6 cups flour
  • cup sugar
  • 2 1/4- ounce packets RapidRise Yeast
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 c. water
  • ½ c. whole milk
  • 6 T. butter cubed
  • 1 egg

Filling

  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 T. cinnamon
  • 6 T. butter very soft

Frosting

  • ¾ cup butter soft
  • 3 c. powdered sugar
  • 2 T. milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Instructions
 

  • In a kitcehnaid mixer with the paddle, mix 2 cups flour, the sugar, yeast and salt on low.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, combine water, milk, and butter and heat to 120°-130°F.
  • Pour this into the flour mixture and add the egg, beating 2 mins on medium.
  • Add 2 more cups of flour and switch to high speed 2 mins.
  • Turn mixer to low and add in just enough remaining flour until the dough will form a ball. (I needed only 1/2 c. more.)
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface 6-8 minutes, adding flour as needed.
  • Cover dough with a towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Filling

  • Mix butter, cinnamon and sugar.
  • Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 15×10- inch rectangle using a rolling pin. Aim for a rectangle so your sliced rolls will be even!
  • Spread the butter mixture on the dough and roll from the long side.
  • Pinch the seam.
  • Cut into 12 equal sized rolls.
  • Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper and spray with Pam (I forgot this and they didn't stick.)
  • Lay rolls in pan, cover with nonstick foil and let rise 1 hour. I do this on the proof setting in my oven.
  • Once doubled in size, bake 25 minutes at 350.
  • Cool 15 minutes and spread the frosting on!

Frosting

  • Electric mix all until smooth! Start on low and then increase to medium to ship it up!
