Cinnamon Rolls

These are the Ruse family favorites. Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls are wonderful, but these are our favorite! We always serve them for birthday breakfasts. We like to stick a birthday candle in one for the birthday person while we sing to them. : )

1 cup warm milk
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups bread flour
1/4 cup instant vanilla pudding mix (if I don't have any, I leave it out)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast

FILLING:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

FROSTING:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

In bread machine pan, place first nine ingredients in order suggested by manufacture. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons water or flour if needed). When cycle is completed, turn dough onto lightly floured surface.

Roll into a 17-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Spread with butter; sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting from a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 21 slices.

Place 12 slices, cut side down, in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan and nine rolls in a 9-in. square baking pan. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks for 5 minutes.

In a bowl, beat frosting ingredients. Remove to wire racks to cool. Frost warm rolls. Store in refrigerator.
Yield: 21 rolls*.
