Cinnamon Buns

I know I'm heading out later to see some relatives and I've decided to make one of my families' new favorite treats, ur, breakfasts. Cinnamon buns! YUM! Or some may call them Sticky Buns, or Cinnabons. What ever you call them, I call them delicious! Make sure you give these a try! They are super easy.

Cinnamon Buns

Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Ready In: 3 Hours
Yields: 12 servings

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup warm milk (110 degrees
F/45 degrees C)
2 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup + 2 tbsp butter, softened

1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer (or in the order they appear above) Select the dough cycle and press Start.

When the dough cycle is complete, dough should be double in size. Place dough on a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon and 1/3 cup of butter. This will make a paste

Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with the remaining butter. Spread the sugar and cinnamon paste evenly over the dough but not too close to the outside edge. Roll up dough into a long log. I like to use a bit of water along the edge to help seal it up. Cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan – I like to use a cookie sheet, covered with parchment paper. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 – 20 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.

**I’ve also seen these with chopped walnuts, or other nuts, sprinkled over the top. Even some nuts sprinkled with the inside filling I’m sure would be delicious.
