Cinnamon Buns

Ingredients

2 pkgs yeast, 1/2 c. warm water, 2 c. lukewarm milk, 1/3 c. sugar, 1/3 c. vegetable oil , 3 t. baking powder, 2 t.salt, 1 egg, 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 c. of all purpose flour, 1/4 c. butter or margarine softened, 1/2 c. sugar, 1 T plus 1t. ground cinnamon, powdered sugar frosting (below)

Procedure

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Stir in milk, sugar, the oil, baking powder, salt, egg, and 3 c. flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto well-floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 8 - 10 mins..Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover, and let rise in warm place until double, about 1 1/2 hrs.. Dough is ready if indention of finger remains in dough when time is up. Punch down dough; divide into halves. Roll 1 half into rectangle, 12 X 10 inches. Spread with half of the margarine. Mix 1/2 sugar and the cinnamon.; sprinkle half the mixture over rectangle. Roll up beginning at 12 inch side. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal. Stretch roll slightly to make even. Cut roll into 12 slices. use clean waxed dental floss to cut the dough. After rolling up the dough with filling inside slide a length of floss under the dough and criscross, then pull both ends and it uncrosses perfectly cutting into neat slices and is much easier and quicker than trying to use a knife. Place slices into greased baking pans 13 x 9 x 2. Wrap pans tightly with heavy duty foil and refrigerate at least 12 hrs. but no longer than 48 hrs... Don't put in the bottom of the frig. as it would be too cold and might kill the yeast! You can also bake immediately by letting rise in a warm place for about 30 mins. and then baking. If in the frig. take out bake as below Heat overn to 350. Remove foil from pans. Bake until golden 30 - 35 mins.. Frost while warm with powdered sugar frosting: Mix two cups of powdered sugar with 1 t. vanilla and enough milk to make into a drizzling consistency. Divide in half spreading each half over pan of warm rolls. If you like you can use marmalade for the filling instead of the butter, cinnamon and sugar. Bake the same. I like using raspberry preserves and chocolate ganache glaze too! Lin.
