Cinnamon Rolls

Recipe - Breads 021
Cinnamon Rolls

Submitted by: Barbra McElwayne
Location: Kimberling City, Missouri

1 package of dry yeast
2 cups warm water
1/2 cup powdered milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Enough flour to make soft dough
(approximately 5 to 6 cups)
Dissolve yeast in warm water in large mixing bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. While the yeast is setting, combine dry milk, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add these ingredients to the yeast; then add the vegetable oil and beat at medium speed of an electric mixer for 2 or 3 minutes until it's blended. Add 2 cups of flour and continue beating with the mixer at medium speed until the mix is smooth. Then stir in enough additional flour to make a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. I usually refrigerate it overnight. Be sure the bowl you store it in is large, because the dough rises a lot!)Punch dough down. Divide into 2 parts. Working with one portion of dough at a time, place on a lightly floured surface and roll to a 14x9-inch rectangle.

Combine 1 1/2 cup sugar with 4 tablespoons ground cinnamon. Add 3/4 cup melted butter, mixing well. Spread 1/2 cinnamon mixture on dough. Roll jelly roll fashion, starting at long side. Pinch seam to seal. Cut roll into 14 one-inch slices. Place rolls in greased pan about one inch apart. Repeat process with remaining dough.

Cover and let rise in a warm place for 40 minutes or until rolls are doubled in bulk. Bake at 375 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes. Drizzle glaze over rolls while hot. (I use a pastry brush to spread the icing.)

GLAZE:
Combine 3 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and enough milk to make thin icing.

~~~NOTE~~~
This is the exact recipe as I received it, so I have my own additions to add. I do not like such a sweet roll, so I leave off the icing. This is the very best cinnamon I have ever had from anywhere. They are so easy to make as well. I made these for Christmas morning, and the reviews are still coming in. Enjoy.
