Ingredients

Dough:

1 cup warm water
1 cup warm milk I just heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds and let it sit while the yeast bubbled
⅓ cup sugar
1 pkg yeast 2 1/4 tsp
⅓ cup oil
½ Tbsp salt
1 egg
4 ½ flour I use around 4 1/2 cups but you could need up to 6 1/2 cups

Filling:

4 Tbsp melted butter
½ cup sugar
cinnamon

Icing:

2 cups powdered sugar
2 Tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
milk probably 2-4 Tbsp

Instructions

In mixer combine yeast, sugar, and warm water; let grow until bubbly (about 5 minutes).
Add milk and mix. Mix in oil and egg.
Slowly add 2 cups flour, mix and then add salt.
Add 1/2 cup flour at a time until it comes away from side of bowl.
Let rise in mixing bowl for about 30 minutes.
Roll dough on a floured surface to make a 9 x 13 inch rectangle.
Spread melted butter on dough. Evenly sprinkle sugar over butter.
Sprinkle cinnamon over sugar. Sprinkle enough to cover the sugar with cinnamon.
Roll up jelly-roll style from the long side and slice into 12 slices. (I like to use thread to do this)
Place slices in a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish. (3 rows of 4 slices)
Cover and let rise and additional 30 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes until rolls are nice and golden.
Allow rolls to cool slightly. While the rolls cool, mix together the icing ingredients until smooth.
Pour icing over warm rolls and enjoy.
