So about 5 o'clock tonight, I decided I had a craving for cinnamon rolls. I remembered seeing a recipe over at the Homeschool Share Forum, and I'm so glad that Kelly posted it! Mmmm. They were so yummy. Here's the recipe. I used 1/2 whole wheat flour, 1/2 white. Not really sure why, since it's not like they are at all healthy even with that change. But they still turned out great. And I made up my own frosting because I didn't have enough cream cheese. I've posted some pictures at the end of the recipe.

Dough:
* 1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
* 2 eggs, room temperature
* 1/3 cup butter, melted
* 4 -4 1/4 cups bread flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast (one package)
Filling:
* 1 cup brown sugar, packed
* 2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
* 1/3 cup butter, softened
Frosting:
* 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
* 1/4 cup butter, softened
* 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
1. Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
2. After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
3. Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4. Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
