Ingredients

For the Dough

2 tablespoon yeast
½ Cup sugar
3 Cups flour
2 teaspoon salt
⅔ Cup powdered milk
½ Cup melted butter
2 Cups hot tap water
2 eggs beaten
4 Cups more flour

For the Filling

½ cup Butter
¾ cup Brown Sugar
Cinnamon

For the Frosting

½ Cup butter softened

Instructions

For the Rolls

In a large mixing bowl (I use my Bosch Mixer) add yeast, sugar, 3 cups flour, salt and powdered milk.
Next add in your butter, hot tap water, and eggs and mix until combined.
Gradually add in remaining 4 cups of flour.
Knead dough in mixer 10 minutes.
Let rise approximately 30 mins. Do not punch down.
Roll out your dough in a large rectangle.
Spread melted butter over the rolled out dough, then spread brown sugar over half your dough and generously sprinkle with cinnamon.
Fold remaining dough over the half that is covered in your topping. Use a pizza wheel to cut your dough into 1" strips and twist your strips into knots.
Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from oven and let sit about 3-5 minutes and then spread with frosting.
Makes approx. 18-20 large rolls.

For the Frosting

Mix all ingredients until combined and desired consistency is achieved.
