Cinnamon Rolls

You are going to need a bread machine for this recipe.  It is just easier to make dough this way.  Make sure that you put the ingredients in the bread machine in the following order.
3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsps water
2 Tbsps margarine or butter, softened
2 1/2 cups bread flour (all purpose works too)
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp bread machine yeast (regular yeast works too)

After all ingredients are in the bread machine, select the Dough/Manual cycle.

Meanwhile make the cinnamon filling.
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Mix ingredients.

Also, make the vanilla glaze.
1 cup powered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp milk
Mix all ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. 

Prepare a 9x13 pan, grease the pan with butter.  Spread evenly.  Remove dough from bread machine and flatten with a rolling pin.  Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a 9 in square, larger if you can.  Then spread dough with 2 Tbsp butter/margarine.  Sprinkle with cinnamon filling.  Roll the dough up tightly; pinch edge of dough into roll to seal (make sure you do this, I learned the hard way).  Cut roll into 1 in. slices and place in the pan.  Cover and let rise in a warm place 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until they double.

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove from oven and drizzle with vanilla glaze.  Serve warm.

If you make them the night before just pop them in the microwave for 25 seconds or so, they are soooo good!
