ingredients
- 1 3⁄4 cups warm water
- 3⁄8 cup sugar
- 1⁄4 cup oil
- 3 tablespoons yeast
- 1⁄2 tablespoon salt
- 2 large eggs (smaller ones possible)
- 5 1⁄2 cups flour
- oil, for the countertop (1/8 cup should be plenty)
- 1⁄3 cup white sugar
- 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄2 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- almost 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
directions
- In a large mixing bowl combine warm water, sugar, oil, and yeast.
- Stir it a few times, then let it sit for a full 15 minutes.
- Now add the salt and eggs and flour to the yeast mixture (add more flour if too sticky, but it should be soft).
- Mix together for 10 minutes in mixer ( I use my Bosch).
- Once it has mixed for ten minutes, let it sit for 10 minutes. It should double in size. It will take longer if your kitchen is cold.
- After it has doubled in size, you want to pour some oil onto the counter (instead of flour) to roll your dough out on.
- Press it into a rectangle.
- Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl, and pour it onto the dough that you have pressed out into a rectangle.
- In a separate bowl, mix white and brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Sprinkle it over the melted butter.
- Tightly roll into a log and cut into 20-24 even sized pieces.
- Place on baking tray with parchment paper on it, and let rise more. You can let them rise as short or as long as you want. Sometimes I just let them rise for like 5 minutes. They will continue to rise in the oven. You want them to be nice and big, so if your kitchen is cold it may take longer.
- Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes.
- While the rolls bake, mix all of the ingredients for the cream cheese frosting together using a hand mixer, in a medium sized bowl, until nice and smooth.
- When you pull the rolls out of the oven, let them sit for a minute or two, then slather frosting over the top and let it melt into the rolls.
