Instructions
For Dough
Add 5 cups hot water to a HUGE bowl
Sprinkle 4 TBSP yeast (Dry Active, not Quick Rising) into the water
Add 1 cup oil
Sprinkle 6 TBSP Sugar over yeast water to activate it.
Wait until it gets all bubbly
Add 2 TBSP salt
Add 6 cups of flour, and stir until well blended, then add flour a cup at a time for 3 more cups, then 1/2 cup at a time until a sticky ball forms.
It will take between 9 and 10 cups of flour
Cover and wait 10 minutes.
Stir around the bowl once, digging from the bottom and folding it over onto the middle.
Cover and wait 10 minutes (for a total of 6 stirs)
For Cinnamon Rolls
Place dough on floured counter and roll it out until 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick (I usually do this in two batches, my counter isn't big enough
Slice butter into 1/4 in thick patties, and place on dough
Mix cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle all of it over dough (should be pretty thick)
Roll up dough and cut into 1/2 to 1 inch thick slices.
Place in greased baking dish
Let rise 30 minutes.
While it is rising, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. (mine takes 10 minutes, so I turn it on after the rolls have risen for 20 minutes)
Bake at 350°F/175°C for 30 minutes
Frosting
Mix Cream Cheese and butter until well combined
Add Sugar and vanilla and mix well
Stir in milk until you get your desired consistency (a little goes a long way)
Frost cooled cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
