Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 1/2 Tbsp yeast
1 c warm water

2 3/4 c flour
1 c non-fat powdered milk powder
1 c instant mashed potato flakes
1 c sugar
2 tsp salt

2 eggs
1/2 c butter, melted
2 1/2 c water

5 - 7 1/2 c flour

Cinnamon Filling: 3 Tbsp melted butter
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c white sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon

Directions:
Directions:
Dissolve yeast in 1 c. warm water. Set aside. Combine the next set of ingredients (2 3/4 c flour to the salt). Mix on medium speed for 10 seconds and then add the next set of ingredients (2 eggs to 2 1/2 c water). MIx on medium speed for 10 seconds then add the yeast mixture and 5 - 7 1/2 c. flour. When it is done mixing and kneading (6 minutes of kneading), let it rise until double (about 2 hours).
Divide the dough into two pieces. Roll the first into a rectangle 18 x 15 inches. Spread filling of choice evenly over the dough. Roll the dough. Cut into 1 1/4 inch wide slices. Place on pan leaving plenty of room to expand. Repeat with the second portion of dough.
The night before you wish to bake the rolls, place on greased pan leaving plenty of room between the rolls for expansion. Cover with cloth. Put pan in cool location to rise over night.
IN the morning, bake at 350º for 15 - 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Frost.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Thanks to Christina for sharing this recipe-- they are so good. I usually don't let them rise overnight-- all afternoon seems to do the trick. I also am much more generous with the filling, which is perhaps why mine seem to need to be cooked longer than suggested. And of course, I use cream cheese frosting instead of an icing. Wait to frost until totally cool if you're using the c c frosting.
