Quick Cinnamon Rolls

by Tammy F.
This recipe makes a lot - as in two large cookie sheets - of delicious soft cinnamon rolls and we love to share them with others!  We like ours with raisins and chopped pecans.  Enjoy!

Dough
1 c. oil
2/3 c. honey
2 1/2 c. warm water
3 eggs
3 c. flour
1 T salt
4 T instant yeast
5-7 c. flour

Filling
4 T soft butter (I use more to cover the dough)
Cinnamon and sugar mixed
Nuts (optional)
Raisins (optional)

Mix oil, honey, water, eggs, 3 cups of flour and salt in Bosch mixer for 1 minute.
Add yeast and mix for 1 more minute.
Add enough flour for a soft dough and mic 6 minutes.
Roll dough out on oiled surface into a rectangle 1/4" thick.
Top with butter, cinnamon, sugar, nuts, raisins.
Roll up beginning at long side.
Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal well.
Cut into 20-24 1" slices and place on greased baking sheet.  
Cover and rise until double.
Bake 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
While warm, frost rolls.
