FOR THE DOUGH:
2 cups Warm Water
2 Tablespoons Dry Yeast
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1/2 cups Sugar
1/4 cups Oil
2 teaspoons Salt
1 Egg
6 cups Sifted Flour (up To A Cup More If Needed)
FOR THE CINNAMON ROLLS:
6 Tablespoons Melted Butter
1 cup Brown Sugar
Cinnamon As Desired To Sprinkle Over The Top Of The Dough
FOR THE FROSTING:
1 pound Powdered Sugar
1 stick Butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Enough Milk For Desired Consistency

1
Put the warm water into a large bowl and sprinkle the yeast and the first amount of sugar over the top. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes. When yeast is activated, add the remaining sugar, oil, salt and egg and mix well:
2
Next add the sifted flour, adding more if needed until the dough is no longer sticky. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and set it in a warm place. Let it rise to more than double in size.
3
Put the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out into a large, 1/2 inch thick rectangle. If you are in a hurry and don't have time for the first rise, you can let the dough rise (to more than double in size) after rolling it out.
4
Spread melted butter across the surface of the dough and sprinkle on the sugar. Then sprinkle on a generous amount of cinnamon. If you still have butter left over, drizzle it over the top of the sugar and cinnamon. This makes the rolls extra gooey.
5
Roll the dough up into a log (start rolling from one of the long sides of the rectangle) and cut the log into 1-inch thick slices. Place rolls in two greased 9x13 baking pans, leaving a little space between each roll. You should be able to fit 12 into each pan. Let the dough rise to more than double in size. Preheat oven to 350 F.
6
Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes or until browned on top. Spread frosting on top while still warm.
7
For the frosting: Mix together all of the frosting ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
