cinnamon roll and submission saturday

Done! I love the wood piece. I'm not all that excited about the print, but maybe it's because I've been looking at it all day everyday for like 6 days now. They are sent in, so cross your fingers. I'll find out the 18th if I got in. 

Reality

Now

And we made cinnamon rolls this morning. They were super delicious and quick since I made the dough last night.


Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 t. active dry yeast
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 t. salt
1 egg
3 cups flour
1 t. cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup raisins


Icing Ingredients
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 8 oz. package cream cheese
1 1/2 T. butter
1/4 t. vanilla
2 T. milk


Directions
Warm milk in a saucepan until bubbles start to form around edges. Remove from heat and add butter. Stir until melted. Add water and cool until lukewarm. Add sugar and yeast and let stand 10 min. Add salt, egg and 2 cups of flour. Stir in remaining flour a little at a time. You may need to add a little more to get the dough to pull together. Knead on a floured surface until springy and elastic. Roll out into a 12x9 rectangle. Mix cinnamon and sugar. Brush butter onto dough leaving about 1/2 inch edge dry. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture, nuts and raisins. Roll toward the dry edge. Seal seem with water. Cut with a sharp knife or fishing line into 12 rolls. Place into a well greased baking dish. Cover with plastic and let rise for 1 hour. This is the point where you should put them in the fridge if you're making them the night before. Preheat oven to 375. Bake 20-25 min. Meanwhile combine frosting ingredients. Add more milk to reach desired consistency. Spread over warm (not hot) rolls. 
Enjoy!!!
