One of my best friends got married this past weekend and I was lucky enough to be her matron of honor (thanks becky!). She had a beautiful wedding held in the Grand Ballroom at Joliet's Union Station. We had so much fun!
Anyway, (moving on to the food) the night before her big day we had a bridesmaid sleepover and I thought I would take some of the stress away from the bride and bring a simple breakfast. I made cinnamon rolls with a fruit salad. All the girls just loved it, I highly recommend this recipe!

Cinnamon Rolls
Adapted from Pioneer Woman
makes 15-16 rolls
2 c. whole milk
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 package dry yeast
2 + 1/4 c. bread flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp salt
1/2 c. melted butter
cinnamon
1/4 bag of powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/8 c. milk (eye ball it)
dash of salt
Mix milk, vegetable oil, and sugar in a sauce pan. Heat mixture until simmering, do not boil. Turn off heat and let cool for 45 mins, until just warm. Once warm, add yeast and still, let sit for a minute. Then add two cups of flour. Stir mixture together until just combined and let rise for an hour.
Add the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Combine by kneading on a floured surface. *At this point the dough can be placed in the fridge and held over night.* Otherwise form into a rectangle. Then roll dough thin, to about 1/4 inch thick. Be sure to keep the rectangle shape.
Drizzle melted butter over the dough and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Then starting at the end farthest from you begin rolling the dough towards you. Once rolled tightly pinch the seem to seal the roll. Cut rolls approximately 3/4 to 1 inch tick and placing them in two buttered pie pans. Let dough rise another 20-30 mins. *at this point they can be placed in the fridge and held over night*
Preheat the oven to 400 F and bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Top with frosting and serve!
Frosting: In a medium bowl combine milk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. (milk and sugar can be added until desired consistency is reached.)

I might try your version instead. My last attempt didn't turn out so hot, different recipe though.
They look tasty!
I'm glad you tried this recipe, I've been wondering how it would turn out!
I made cinnamon rolls once several years ago and they were a disaster! I have been wanting to try PW's recipe for a while now, and you have convinced me that I NEED to make these!
