Bim's Cinnamon Rolls

Dough: Dissolve 1 package yeast in 1 C. warm milk and 1/2 C. sugar. Proof. Add 1/3 C. melted butter, 1 tsp. salt, 2 slightly beaten eggs. Add 4 C. flour (or slightly more as needed). Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let rise for about an hour. Roll out dough on floured surface until about 21 x 16 inches, and 1/4 inch thick.

Filling: Spread 1/3 C. soft butter over surface of dough. Combine 1/2 C. brown sugar, 1/2 C. white sugar, a tblsp cinnamon in bowl, and then sprinkle over butter. Working from long side, roll dough and cut into 1 1/2 inch slices. Place in lightly greased 13 x 9 pan. YOu may cover and refrigerate overnight.

Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes. DO NOT use convection oven - the outside gets brown but the inside stays raw.

Icing: Beat 1 stick butter, 1/4 C. cream cheese, 1 1/2 C. confectioner's sugar, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, and 1/8 tsp. salt together. Spread over warm rolls.
