Directions

for the rolls:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix warm water, sugar, oil, and active yeast. Mix on low speed for 3 minutes and then turn the mixer off and let ingredients sit for 10 minutes. The yeast will activate and begin to rise and thicken.
3. Add salt, eggs, and flour. Mix on a medium speed for 6 - 8 minutes (until the sides of the bowl are clean) and then let sit for 5 minutes.
4. While the dough is resting, make the filling. Melt butter and set aside. Combine sugars and cinnamon and set aside.
5. On a lightly oiled surface, roll dough out into a rectangle shape (about 12" high x 18" long).
6. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the melted butter on dough.
7. Sprinkle filling mixture evenly over dough.
8. Starting at one of the long edges, roll the dough into a tight cylinder shape.
9. Cut a 8" piece of unflavored dental floss. Place the floss underneath the roll about 1 - 2 inches from the edge. Take the two ends of the floss and cross them over the top of the cylinder and pull. Discard the end piece of the roll and continue this process 12 times down the line.
10. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place 6 rolls on a sheet. Let the rolls sit for another 8-10 minutes before putting them into the oven.
11. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges become golden brown.

for the icing:

1. In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk butter and powdered sugar on a low speed.
2. Add vanilla and salt.
3. Add milk until frosting reaches desired consistency (3 tablespoons for thick frosting, 6 tablespoons for thinner frosting).
4. Frost each roll generously.
