Ingredients

Sharon George's Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons yeast
  • ½ cup oil
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 5 ¼ cups sifted flour

Cinnamon Center

  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cinnamon
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • ¾ cup raisins (optional)

Kathy Stentzel's Butter Cream Frosting

  • 8 oz. Cream cheese -softened
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups powder sugar

Instructions

Prepare Bread for Rolls

  1. In a large bowl mix 1/3 cup sugar, yeast and oil with warm water until dissolved. Cover and let stand in warm place 15 minutes. (Yeast will grow rapidly)
  2. Blend eggs into yeast mixture. Add salt to sifted flour then gradually add to yeast mixture to make soft dough.
  3. Knead dough 5 minutes on lightly floured surface. Roll dough into rectangular shape about ¼” (.6 cm) thick. (Here, I use a Bosch machine to mix my dough)

Cinnamon Center for the Rolls

  1. Brush dough with melted butter. Combine cinnamon and sugar, sprinkle over dough, then sprinkle on chopped nuts and raisins.
  2. Carefully roll up dough, and cut 1” (2.6cm) slices with string or knife. Place in an ungreased rectangular pan. Let rolls rest about 10 minutes.

Butter Cream Frosting application

  1. Mix Butter Cream ingredients together with blender until light and fluffy. Spread on warm, not hot, rolls. (For the frosting I use my Kitchen Aid mixer)

Recipe Notes

Personal Note: This recipe will make 15 rolls that fit into a half sheet baking pan. 
I can make two batches in about 1 hour 15 minutes, which includes washing up all utensils and mixing bowls. Placing a few drops of Dawn liquid degergent into my bread mixing bowl loosens up the dough from the bowl and paddles while I mix the frosting. Then cleanup is much simplier and quicker.
