Cinnabon Style Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

In a small bowl, combine water, yeast, and sugar. Stir until dissolved. Set aside.

In a large bowl, make pudding mix according to package directions. Add butter, eggs, and salt; mix well. Add the yeast mixture; blend. Gradually add flour and knead until smooth and elastic.

Place in a very large greased bowl. Cover and let rise until double (about 1 hour). Punch down and let rise again (45 minutes).

On a lightly floured surface, roll out to a 1/4 inch thick rectangle, 21 inches in its smaller dimension. Note: you may wish to divide the dough in halves and roll out two rectangles. Spread 1/2 cup melted butter over surface. Mix cinnamon and sugar together, and spread evenly over surface, leaving a 1-inch margin along one of the long edges. Roll up tightly, starting from a long side. Press together along the edge not covered with cinnamon sugar.

Slice at 1-1/4 inch intervals. Place in greased baking pan, 2 inches apart. Cover and let rise until double again. Bake at 350degrees for 20 - 25 minutes. Remove as soon as they turn golden. Frost warm rolls with cream cheese frosting.
