Stir in 3 more cups of flour. Begin kneading
dough, adding
final cup of flour. If
dough seems too sticky, knead in more flour, a quarter to a half cup at a time.
Let
dough "rest" for 15 to 20 minutes. (I leave it sitting on
counter and use
time to wash up
bowl and other utensils and to clean off
counter top.)
Roll
dough into a rectangle that's 24 to 30 inches long by about 16 inches wide. Spread with soft butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Starting at
wide end, roll into a log.
Cut
cinnamon rolls into equal sized slices (approximately one inch wide each or slightly more) and place into two greased 9x13 pans. Put in a warm place to rise for 45 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes (or until
cinnamon rolls are golden brown).
Allow to cool for 5 minutes and then turn out of
pans.
This recipes makes two dozen cinnamon rolls. If you want REALLY BIG cinnamon rolls, cut into 12 equal pieces 2 inches wide.
Total amount of time needed from start to finish (including time to bake) is about 2 hours.
