Yum! Yum! Cinnamon Rolls

I was passed along a recipe for cinnamon rolls that you make the dough in a bread machine. I made these myself and they were so easy and yummy. Not only that but they were the first time I had ever made cinnamon rolls that did not come from a Pillsbury can. I made these for dessert for our FHE Couples Night.









Here is the recipe:
Cinnamon Rolls (Bread Machine)


ROLLS:
1 c warm milk
2 eggs
1/3 c melted butter
4-1/2 c flour
1 t salt
1/2 c sugar
2 pkgs quick active dry yeast (rapid rise)

( I sometimes add water if while it's mixing in the bread machine it seems kind of dry)


FILLING:
1 c brown sugar
2 T cinnamon
1/3 c softened butter

( I don't follow the filling recipe. I normally put a little more brown sugar a lot more cinnamon...Eyeball it.)


FROSTING:
1 pkg (3oz) cream cheese, softened
1/4 c butter, softened
1-1/2 c powdered sugar
1/2 t vanilla

1. Measure carefully, placing all roll ingredients in bread machine pan in the order recommended by your machine.

2. Select dough cycle. Do not use delay.

3. Remove dough from pan, using lightly floured hands; place on lightly floured surface. Cover dough and let rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.

4. Grease bottom and sides of 13x9 inch pan with shortening or spray. Roll dough into 20x16 rectangle. Spread 1/3 c butter over dough; sprinkle evenly with brown sugar-cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough, beginning at 20-inch side; pinch edge of dough into toll to seal. Cut into 12 slices. Place in pan. Cover and rise 35-45 minutes.

5. Heat in 375 oven. Bake 20-25 minutes. Meanwhile, in bowl, mix frosting ingredients. Let rolls stand 5 minutes before frosting. Spread on warm rolls.
