Cinnamon Rolls 2.0

(Recipe courtesy of Sister Shef)

ROLLS: (btw, I halved this part)

2 T. yeast

1/2 cup warm water

1 T. sugar

2 c. warm milk

1 c. melted butter

4 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp. salt

8 c. flour

FILLING:

3/4 c. sugar

2 T. cinnamon

Mix together yeast and water. Sprinkle sugar on top. Let sit until it bubbles up. Mix together milk, butter, eggs, 1/2 c. sugar and salt in your roommate's KitchenAid (with bread hook attachment). If you don't have one put it on your wedding gift registry. Add yeast mixture. Add flour, 4 c. at a time. Beat on low until ingredients are mixed together. Then turn on med-high and let run for 5 minutes to knead dough thoroughly. Split dough in two pieces. Roll out on floured surface. Cover with melted butter (about 1/2 c. each piece of dough). Sprinkile with filling, and roll up from long side. Cut into slices (using dental floss, of course).  Place on greased cake pans and let rise for one hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Frost as soon as removed from oven. But before you frost they should look like this...

FROSTING:
