Cinnamon Rolls

[COOK TIME: 15 MIN]
Ingredients
1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons dry active yeast
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 cups bread flour
2 eggs

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

Directions
Place warm milk in the pan of a bread machine. Add sugar and stir til dissolved.
Sprinkle yeast evenly over the top of the milk and sugar mixture, close bread machine and let sit for 10 minutes. Add melted butter, salt, bread flour, and eggs.
Turn machine to "Dough" and hit the start button.
After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into rolls about 1 inch in thickness. Place rolls in a lightly greased baking pan.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

*********************************************************************
I make a quick frosting with softened butter, confectioner's sugar, vanilla extract, and milk.
Wait until the rolls have cooled down some before
spreading any icing or it will just melt all over the place.
The first time making these I cup them about half an inch
in thickness hoping to get more out of the roll.
However, this causes them to be tough and hard to eat.
After they have cooled, if you still want that fresh out of oven feeling just pop one in the microwave for 15 seconds...does just the trick.
