Quick Cinnamon Rolls
1 3/4 cup warm water
6 Tbsp sugar
1/2 cup oil
3 Tbsp instant yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
5 1/2 cups flour
melted butter (start with about 1/8 cup - more if you like)
sugar and cinnamon (start with about 1/4 cup sugar - more if you like, sprinkle cinnamon on to cover all the dough)
optional raisins
Mix together the following (by hand or using a dough hook on your Mixmaster): water, sugar, oil and yeast. Let set for 15 mins. Then add salt, eggs and flour. Roll out to 1/2" thickness (approx. 10" x 20")on lightly floured surface. Spread with melted butter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Starting from the long edge, begin rolling fairly tightly. Cut into 1" slices. Arrange, cut side down, on a greased jelly roll pan or cookie sheet. Let rise 15 - 30 mins. in a warm place, covered with a dishcloth. Bake at 400°F for about 12-15 mins. Cool slightly then frost.
Cream Cheese Frosting
1/8 cup butter
3 oz. cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups icing sugar
Beat in a small bowl: butter, cream cheese and vanilla. Gradually add icing sugar and beat until fluffy.
Cook's Notes: I double the cream cheese for a tastier (less sweet frosting).
