Cinnamon Rolls

I am a big fan of cinnamon rolls.I crave it every time I came across Cinnabon and smell the fregrant aroma.I've tried several recipes and this is very close.The best advantage in this recipe is that it's easy and takes little time in preparation.Don't let the steps intimidate you.

Ingredients:(Dough)

1 cup warm milk

2 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast

2 large eggs

2 teaspoon vanilla extract(1 teaspoon vanilla powder)

1/3 cup ghee or softened butter

41/2 cup flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup sugar

Filling:

1/3 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar (if not available use caster sugar )
2 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Toppings
:

1 Package cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup icing or powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt

Prepare the dough first and let it rise .Dissolve the milk and sugar then add the yeast. Let that get foamy on the top and set aside .Mix flour with salt and set aside.In a bowl beat eggs, add the milk mixture then add ghee.Stir till combined.Add the flour a little at a time.You could use a regular mixer. mixture in with the flour a little at a time. When it is mixed well enough, finish kneading by hand.Let it rise 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 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to (200 degrees C).

Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.

Freeze cinnamon rolls. Then you can pop them out of the freezer, put them in the microwave, and they taste fresh from the oven!!
