Cinnamon Rolls

Dough Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups of milk
• 3/4 Cup + 1 Tablespoon sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 Tablespoon salt
• 2 Tablespoons yeast
• 2 cups warm water
• 9-10 cups of all purpose flour
• 1 cup butter

Filling Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter almost melted
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (for pouring over risen rolls)

Frosting Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter softened
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 4 cups confectioners'/powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

1. Scald 1 1/2 cups of milk, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup of butter, in a microwave safe bowl, for about 2 minutes.  Cutting the butter into pieces helps it melt faster.  There will probably be some little cubes of butter still floating in the hot mixture, they will melt
2. Stir in 1-2 cups flower, then add 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of salt, and leave it to cool for a couple of minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a measuring cup, dissolve 2 tablespoons of yeast in 2 cups of warm water and 1 tablespoon of sugar.  Let it sit for a couple of minutes until it is bubbly.
4. Make sure your milk mixtures is just warm (if it is too hot it could kill the yeast), and add the yeast mixture.
5. Using a fork or wooden spoon, gradually stir in 7-9 cups of flour (for a total of 9-10 cups with what was in the milk mixture).  Only add 2 cups at a time and stir in-between.  The rolls turn out so much better when they are mixed by hand. At the end of the dough will be dense and sticky, and may be hard to stir, you can use your hands to incorporate the rest of the flout if needed.  Be sure not to add too much flour.  
6. Smooth the dough out and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.  Leave it in a warm place and let it rise.  Let the dough rise until it has doubled in size.  
7. Cover your working area in flour to prevent the dough from sticking.  Dump your dough out.  Roll out the dough into a giant rectangle.
8. Mix the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.  Spread the mixture onto the dough. 
9. Roll up the dough into a spiral. Cut the spiral into 1-2 inch rolls.  
10. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the rolls into greased pans and let rise again on top of the oven (if possible).  Pour the heavy cream over the rolls
11. Bake the 1-2 pans of rolls for 10-15 minutes until they are golden brown.  It make take longer depending on how hot your oven cooks.  Keep a close eye on your first pan to get the right time for others.  
12. Mix the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.  Spread over the cooled rolls.
