  2. Add all of the dough ingredients to the mixer bowl. You can also add the yeast mixture if it is ready
  3. if it has not started to bubble start the yeast mixture over and if it doesn’t work you
  4. Mix ingredients in the bowl. Mix for about 5 minutes or till the dough is no longer sucking to the sides has come together. Normally you will need to add a little flour during this process
  5. Once this is done leave in a bowl in the bowl and let rise for an hour
Filling
  1. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside until the dough is ready.
  2. Once the dough is ready pull out the dough (doubled in size) into flour and flatten it out into about 18x14 should be about ¼ inch rectangle
  3. Know meat the filling butter and bread out over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mix test over it and then spread out as needed
  4. Then it is time to roll it up
  5. Now is the time that you have to make a choice: Do you want small cinnamon rolls or big
  6. We like them to be a little more bite-size for the kids so most people roll from the shirt side we roll from the long side so you end up with a smaller toll you can do it the other way they will just be different sizes
  7. Once you have rolled
  8. You will then want to use a very sharp knife or you will want to use floss to cut the roll in about 1 inche.
Glaze
  1. Add the remaining butter and add the bit of milk and the powdered sugar to get her to make the glaze (honestly I don’t like a lot of glasses so if you like a lot you may want to double the glaze party to cover then but for me, this is enough)
