Combine & microwave for 3-4 minutes
1 stick butter
1 cup milk
Combine & set aside
1/2 cup warm water
2 packages yeast (5 tsp)
1 T sugar
In a large mixing bowl combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 cup warm water. Add the milk and melted butter. Then add 2 eggs and 2 cups flour. Add the yeast mixture. Add 4 cups flour. Mix until flour is absorbed. Knead for 5 minutes adding up to 3 more cups flour until the sides of the bowl are free of dough. The dough should be a light, smooth ball that can be handled easily. Remove the dough hook, cover the bowl, and let the dough rise until doubles in size.
Combine and melt in the microwave 1 stick butter, 1 cup brown sugar and 3 T cinnamon.
Punch down the dough.
On a floured surface roll the dough into a rectangle about 14" by 18" and less than a 1/2 inch thick.
Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly. (For smaller rolls- cut the rectangle in half the long way before rolling it up). Start on the long side roll up the dough, pinching the dough closed the whole length of the roll along the seam when you are done.
With a sharp knife, cut rolls about 1" thick and place them on greased cookie sheets. They should not be touching much. Cover and let them rise until doubled.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-17 minutes. They should be light brown.
While the rolls are still warm, cover with icing.
