Cinnamon Rolls II

My husband came into the bedroom and asked me, "How much effort is required from me for you to make cinnamon rolls?" to which I responded by walking into the kitchen with him, finding him a recipe, and walking him through it. He measured, mixed, stirred, and kneaded while I was there to answer any questions he had. The next weekend, he found his own recipe and following the advice found with it proceeded to make cinnamon rolls all by himself! I'm so very proud of his willingness to learn :) I must say that the recipe he found turned out much better than the one I gave him. This is the recipe he used which was found off of allrecipes.com under the name Cinnamon Rolls II.

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 6 cups all-purpose flour
•  
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 cups dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
•  
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons milk

Directions

1. Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in the butter; stir until melted. Add water and let cool until lukewarm.
2. In a large bowl, combine the milk mixture, yeast, white sugar, salt, eggs and 2 cups flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
3. Divide dough into two pieces. Roll each piece into a 12x9 inch rectangle. In a bowl, stir together the cinnamon and brown sugar. Spread each piece with half of the butter, half of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough, using a little water to seal the seam.
4. Cut each roll into 12 slices using a very sharp knife or dental floss. Place rolls onto two 9x13 inch greased baking pans. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
6. To make frosting; combine confectioner's sugar, cream cheese, butter and vanilla. Add milk gradually until frosting reaches a spreading consistency. Spread over warm (but not hot) cinnamon rolls.
