How To Make home made cinnamon rolls

• 
  Step 1
  Combine flour, salt, & sugar in large bowl.
• 
  Step 2
  In another medium bowl, combine the water & yeast. Add a pinch of sugar to get the yeast to working. This is called "proofing" the yeast. It checks to see if your yeast is good & also gets your bread a better start & I believe it makes it lighter & fluffier.
• 
  Step 3
  In a small bowl, combine the eggs & oil.
• 
  Step 4
  After the yeast mixture has set for about 5 minutes, add the egg mixture in with it & mix. Then pour this into the flour mixture & with large wooden spoon mix until it forms a ball.
• 
  Step 5
  Turn out onto a floured board & knead for 4 or 5 minutes or until dough has elasticity.
• 
  Step 6
  Place in a large greased bowl.
• 
  Step 7
  Cover & let rise for about 1 1/2 hours or until at least doubled in size.
• 
  Step 8
  If you have enough room to roll all the dough out at once, go for it. If not, divide in 2 pieces & roll one out at a time into a rectangle. I roll mine about 1/4" thick. Spread about 1 stick of room temperature real butter on each rectangle, leaving about 1/2" on one long side dry to crimp after rolling.
• 
  Step 9
  Then sprinkle the cinnamon on (as much as you like).
• 
  Step 10
  Now spread about 1 1/4 cup brown sugar per rectangle.
• 
  Step 11
  Starting with long end, roll away from you, keeping taunt but not too tight.
• 
  Step 12
  Crimp the dry end to roll of dough to secure. Turn the roll with the crimped side down.
• 
  Step 13
  Cut the width you want for the desired size of rolls you want.
• 
  Step 14
  If you want larger rolls, cut thick & then with the palm of your hand gently press down to flatten out wider.
• 
  Step 15
  Spray your pans with cooking spray & place rolls in pans. Allow room for rising. Don't overcrowd your pan,as they wil not cook properly.
• 
  Step 16
  Repeat with the smaller rolls.
• 
  Step 17
  Cover with towel & let rise in warm place.
• 
  Step 18
  They should be doubled in size & touching each other.
• 
  Step 19
  Place in a 350° oven on center rack & bake for about 20 minutes or until a golden brown on top. Don't overcook or they will dry out. Remove from oven & allow to almost completely cool.
• 
  Step 20
  Mix the icing ingredients together with a whisk, using 1 T. milk at a time until desired consistency! I like mine thick.
• 
  Step 21
  Spread lots of icing on top & enjoy.
• Step 22
  When I heat some up, I will post a picture & explain how I do it to make it UMMMMMM!!
