Instructions
Rolls
- Add warm water & cream together. Make sure the mixture is warm but not hot, if too hot the yeast will die. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar & yeast. Mix and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it bubbles up. If mixture doesn’t bubble, your yeast is dead and you must start over with new yeast.
- In a standing mixer add 1 cup sugar, butter, eggs & salt. Stir until combined
- Add yeast mixture to standing mixer, stir until combined
- Add flour & knead in mixer until it is 1 ball of dough
- Cover bowl and let sit for 2-3 hours or until doubled in size
Filling
- Once dough has doubled, mix sugars, cinnamon & cornstarch together
Assemble
- Roll out your dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle. I like my dough about ¼ inch thick
- Spread the melted butter all over your dough
- Sprinkle sugar mixture and spread until evenly distributed on the dough
- Roll the dough
- Place the rolls on 2 light metal, greased cookie sheets, I put 12 on each pan.
- Cover lightly with plastic wrap and let sit for another 2 hours
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, bake for 22-24 minutes until golden
Frosting
- While baking, mix all the frosting ingredients in a standing mixer. Whip for 2 minutes until fluffy
- Frost while still warm
