Cinnamon Rolls

That's right ***** I have my own recipe for Cinnamon Rolls. Andy helped me, and we are always improving it. But this is where it is at right now. Enjoy!

Audrey's Cinnamon Rolls
2 cups warm water
2/3 cups white sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons yeast

Mix the water and sugar together until the sugar dissolves, add yeast and let it set until yeast turns to a creamy foam. About 5-10 min

1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups flour

Add salt and vegetable oil. Mix in 1 cup of flour at a time and knead until it is all mixed together. Sometimes I use 1/2 cup more flour, depending on the dough.
Put dough in bowl and cover with warm damp cloth and let it rise for 1-2 hours.

Filling:
2 cups brown sugar
4 T ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened

Roll into a rectangle. Try to get it as thin as possible, but NOT so you can see threw it. Doesn't have to be perfect. Spread  1/2 cup butter all over dough, leave a little edge on the outside so it will stick when you roll it up.  Then sprinkle the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture all over, to the edges. Kinda pat it down into the butter. Roll up dough from the longest side. When you get towards the end brush the edge with some water so it  won't unroll. Get a piece and string and cut the roll in half. Keep doing that with each half, until you get the size of roll you want. I usually do 1 inch in width. Place them in a cookie sheet, with only a 1/4 inch between them. Let them rise until they double in size. Min. an hour, I usually let them rise about 2. Put them in the oven, then turn it on to 350 for about 20 min, until the edges get a little brown.

Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix this all together and spread over rolls.
