Gooey Goodness

1 box yellow or white cake mix

2 pkg. dry yeast

1 tsp. salt

2 1/2 c. lukewarm water

5 c. flour

1 stick butter, melted

3/4 c. brown sugar

1 3/4 tbsp. cinnamon (or more depending on your taste buds)

This is the EASIEST cinnamon roll recipe I have ever used! It's simple, fast and most importantly AMAZING! Below you will find the ingredients I used.

Combine the first 3 ingredients and add water. Mix until ingredients are incorporated well. Add three cups of flour in 1 cup increments mixing well after each addition. After the third cup the dough will pull off sides.  Sprinkle about a cup of flour onto a clean workspace. Empty the mixing bowl onto the flour and start kneading in the flour.  For the last cup sprinkle on in small increments you may find you don't need the entire last cup.  After dough is kneaded and formed into a ball place into a greased bowl. I prefer glass or ceramic.  Cover and let the dough rise for about an hour, it should double in size. We were processing beans and ham so I placed it by the pressure cooker, it was my own personal little proofing station.  Punch down dough and place on a clean buttered workspace.  Working carefully so you don't tear a hole into it begin forming the dough into a rectangle.  This is a lot of dough and your rectangle will be quite big.  When you are satisfied with the size spread the room temperature butter onto the rectangle. Spread out brown sugar and  then sprinkle with cinnamon. Starting from the bottom roll up. You will then have a rather long and large "log of dough". Slide a  12" piece of thread under the log and bring them up to the top and cross over. (I know...it's hard to understand sorry)  Slice every 1/2 inch or so depending on how thick you want your rolls. Place in greased baking pan, cover and let rise for about 45 minutes and then bake 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees. About 10 minutes before you take the rolls out of the oven make the Cream Cheese Frosting. While warm frost and then DEVOUR!
