DIRECTIONS

Steps:

1. Dissolve yeast in the 1/2 cup of warm water. Add a teaspoon of sugar and mix. Cover bowl with a towel, or plate. set aside for 5 min. Yeast is active if it gets foamy on top. If it does not foam. repeat process with a new packet.
2. In a large bowl beat the egg with whisk. Add milk, butter, salt, and 1/4 cup of sugar.
3. Add 2 cups of the flour to mixture. Stir until smooth.add yeast mixture and stir in to combine well. Mix in remaining flour. Knead until combined well.
4. Flour surface and knead dough for 5-10 minutes on the floured surface.
5. Place in a buttered bowl and cover. Let the dough rise for 2 hours in a warm place. Occasionally I put my oven on 100 degree's to speed the process. It should double in size after rising.
6. Place dough on floured surface. Punching the dough down. Roll in to a rectangle about 14 - 16 inches long X 10-12 inches wide.
7. Make filling Combine sugars, cinnamon, nuts, and raisins together. spread melted butter over dough and top with filling.
8. Start rolling the filled dough up by Long section. Pinch the end to seal dough. Cut in to 10-12 sections.
9. Butter 9x13 inch pan real well. Place sections in to pan next to each other. Let then rise for another 1/2 hour, or so. BWhen risen. Place in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, or until browned. Mix all ingrefients together for glaze. Top buns with glaze.

Tips:

For the best results, use fresh yeast. If you are using active dry yeast, proof it in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the dough.
Make sure the butter is cold and cubed before adding it to the dough. This will help create flaky layers in the cinnamon rolls.
Roll the dough out into a rectangle that is about 12x18 inches. This will ensure that the cinnamon rolls are evenly sized.
Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. This will prevent the filling from leaking out while the cinnamon rolls are baking.
Roll the dough up tightly, starting from one of the long sides. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal it.
Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
Let the cinnamon rolls rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until they have doubled in size.
Bake the cinnamon rolls at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Let the cinnamon rolls cool for a few minutes before frosting them.
Enjoy!
