Love these!!! The frosting is great on other things too, such as banana bread. Definitely worth the time to make them.
Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting
Dough:
1 cup warm milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 t. salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 T. dry yeast
1/4 cup gluten (in the baking aisle)
3-4 cups flour
Filling:
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
4 t. cinnamon
3/4 cup raisins (optional)
Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1. In large bowl, combine dough ingredients and knead about 5-10 minutes to make a soft (not sticky), smooth, elasticy dough.
2. Place in greased bowl (rub bowl with a little oil), turning once (so dough gets a little oily all over) and cover with a towl. Set in a warm plae and let rise until dough doubles in size (1-2 hours)
***if you have a bread machine, you can use DOUGH cycle for steps 1 and 2 above.***
3. Punch down and let rest 10 minutes. If your using raisins, place in boiling water until they are soft and plump.
4. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Roll out dough to large rectangle. Spread with melted butter. Sprinkle on cinnamon and sugar mixture. Add raisins if using.
5. Roll dough up into a log. Using dental floss, cut into 12 buns (slip under dough, cross over top, and pull to cut dough). Place rolls in 9x13 pan. Cover and let rise 20-30 minutes.
7. Bake uncovered in preheated oven at 350 for a metal pan, or 375 for a glass pan. After 15 minutes, cover with foil and bake another 3-5 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
8. Frosting-cream butter and cream cheese together. Add sugar and vanilla. Mix well and frost top of rolls.
