Screamin' Cinnamon Rolls w/Cream Cheese Frosting

For Dough
1/2 C warm water
2 pkgs yeast
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 pkg instant vanilla pudding(3 1/2oz.)
2 C milk -- room temp.
1 1/2 cups butter -- melted divided
2 lg. eggs -- beaten
1 tsp salt
8 C all-purpose flour
2 c brown sugar
2 Tbsp. cinnamon -- (2 to 3)

For Frosting
4 oz. cream cheese -- softened
1/4 C butter -- softened
1 tsp. vanilla
2 C powdered sugar
2 Tbsp milk

In small bowl combine water, yeast & sugar. Stir until dissolved, set
aside. In large bowl, mix pudding with milk. Add 1/2 C melted butter,egg &
salt. Mix well, then add yeast mixture & blend well. Gradually add flour and
knead until smooth, adding a little more flour if needed ( this is a soft
dough). Place in a very large greased bowl. Cover & let rise until double in
size.Punch down & cover and let rise again. Roll dough out on a large floured
surface to a rectangle, about 34x21" in size. Brush the 1 C melted butter over
dough. Combine brown sugar & cinnamon and sprinkle
over butter. Roll dough up & cut into about 20 rolls (i use dental floss to cut
rolls easily). Pat each roll as you place it into a large greased pan (this
helps keep rolls in shape). Let rolls rise in a warm place about 20 minutes.
Bake in a preheated 350 deg. oven for 20-30 minutes, until done.
Frost rolls while still warm.
Beat cream cheese & butter until smooth, beat in vanilla and milk. Add powdered
sugar & beat until smooth. Frost rolls while still very warm.

I flash froze them in my chest freezer then put them in a zip lock bag, along
with frosting. when you want some i take them out and put in a greased pan
cover loosely with plastic wrap and put in cold oven with the light on over
night to defrost and rise...then i baked as normal what ever recipe called for
and turned pan upside down to remove and have all the yummy cinnamon sauce on
top then i just frosted as normal.
