Cinnayumm Rolls

Basic Dough

1 pkg of yeast melted into 1/4 cup of very warm water. Add a pinch of sugar to mixture. set aside. In a separate bowl mix together 3/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp salt and 1 cup flour. Beat in melted yeast and 1 egg. Add 2 more cups of flour (more or less) Place in greased bowl and let rise 1 hour or so. Shape into rolls. Let rise again. Bake at 400 degrees until golden (approx. 20 minutes).

For Cinnyumm Rolls:
To shape roll out dough into a rectangle. Pour 3/4 - 1 stick of melted margerine over dough. Sprinkle liberally with brown sugar and cinnamon. You may want to add raisins and/or nuts or whatever you like. Roll up jelly roll style. Cut into approx. 1 inch wide strips. Whith each strip, pull gently and tie a knot then set on a greased cookie sheet. Let them rise another 30mins - 1 hour. then bake as above.

Brenda's alterations:
1. Instead of pouring melted butter over the dough I spread margerine or softened butter on dough. This makes a little less messy when making them.
2. I also bake the rolls in a 9x13 pan. I make them the night before baking--put them in the refrigerator and they will rise and be ready to put in oven in the morning.
