Cinnamon Rolls (90 Minutes)

 Makes 8-12 rolls

Uses: Cream Cheese Frosting


Dough

3/4 cup Milk

1/4 cup margarine, softened 

3 1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 pkg instant yeast

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup water

1 large egg


Filling

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup margarine (SOFTEN NOT MELTED)

1 TBS cinnamon


  1. Heat milk in a small saucepan until just hot to touch or a few bubbles form around the edge. Remove from heat and stir in margarine until melted; set aside.

    1. Combine 2 1/4 cups flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add milk mixture, water, and egg; beat well. Add remaining 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition.

    2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth (not tough), about 5 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.

      1. While dough is resting, mix together brown sugar, margarine, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

      2. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 12x9-inch rectangle. Spread brown sugar mixture over dough. Roll up dough and pinch seam to seal. Cut into equal rolls. Place cut-side up in the prepared pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. 

      3. Bake 20-22 minutes in the preheated oven until browned. Let cool for 2 minutes. Spread cream cheese frosting on top of rolls. Serve warm.
