Cinnamon Rolls or Orange Rolls

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/8 c. warm water
1/4 c. sugar
1/3 c. oil
2 Tbs. yeast
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
3 1/2 c. flour

4 Tbs. butter
brown sugar (about 1 c.)
cinnamon (about 1 Tbs.)

Combine the water, sugar, and yeast.  Let sit for about 10 minutes, or until foamy.  

Add the oil and egg, stir.  Add the salt and flour.  Mix well.  (dough will be slightly sticky).  Place the dough in a clean, greased bowl, cover and let rise until double (about an hour).

Transfer the dough to a floured surface.  Roll the dough into a large rectangle (not too thin).  Soften the butter then spread over the dough.  Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the buttered dough.

Roll the dough up.  Cut into 1” sections (dental floss is the best!).  Place on greased cookie sheet leaving just a little space in between rolls.  Let rise about 30 minutes.  Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

Top with cream cheese frosting:
4 oz. cream cheese
3 Tbs. butter, softened
1 c. powdered sugar
1 Tbs. milk
