Win Freinds and Influence Others With Cinnamon and Brown Sugar

People will love you and despise you all in one bite. No one can resist a warm cinnamon roll fresh out of the oven. These treats are the closest things you will find compared to their suburban mall food court counterparts. Don't skimp on the filling and try to roll as tight as possible, and when you think they are finished rising, let em rise some more before you pop them in the oven. Your patience will pay off in spades. Think back to your days in high school for inspiration on a tight roll.

Glennabon Cinnamon Rolls

INGREDIENTS
Dough
¼ cup warm water
1 cup of milk – room temperature
1 large egg – beaten
¼ cup of butter – softened
1 tbsp. sugar
½ tsp. salt
4 cups all purpose white flour
½ package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tbsp. bread machine yeast

Filling
1 cup brown sugar – packed
2 tbsp cinnamon
¼ cup butter – softened

Cream Cheese Cinnamon Frosting
4 oz cream cheese – softened
½ tsp. vanilla
½ tbsp. milk
1 ½ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp. cinnamon


DIRECTIONS

Dough
Add dough ingredients in the order listed to the bread machine and prepare using the dough setting. On a lightly floured surface, roll out tot an 18” x 30” rectangle.

Filling
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread the softened butter over the dough and evenly sprinkle on the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Starting at the long edge of the dough, roll up tightly. Mark the roll every 2 inches. With a thread, cut the roll by placing the thread under the roll at your mark, crisscross over and pull to cut. Place rolls into greased 8” or 9” baking pans 2” apart. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft free place until almost double, approximately 1 hour. After rising, rolls be touching each other and the sides of the pan. Bake at 3500F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cream Cheese Cinnamon Frosting
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, butter, vanilla and milk. Add powdered sugar and cinnamon and mix until smooth. Spread on warm rolls and serve immediately
