Superior Cinnamon Rolls

I have used a different cinnamon roll recipe in the past. They are good, but these are easier and they are so light and fluffy! This makes 24 rolls, but I have halved it and they were still fine.

Mix and let sit for 15 minutes:
3 1/2 c. warm water
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. vegetable oil
6 T. yeast (yes, that really is tablespoons)

Then add:
1 T. salt
3 eggs (when I halved, I used 2 eggs)
10 1/2 c. flour

Mix together for 10 minutes, then sit for 10 minutes. Oil countertop, dump out dough. Divide in half. Press one half out into rectangle. Spread with ¼ c. melted butter and then with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll up tight, but not too tight. Divide into 12 rolls and place on greased cookie sheet. Repeat with other half of dough. Let rise. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 400.

Cinnamon-Sugar
1c. sugar
1 T. cinnamon

Frosting
1 cube butter >> or swap out partially for cream cheese, my preference
2 dashes salt
2 t. vanilla
6 c. powdered sugar
milk added to get to the consistency you prefer
