Homemade Cinnamon Rolls (with the assistance of the bread machine)

Pull out the old bread machine and let it do the work, that is why we have electricity.

Dough
* 2/3 cup milk
* 1 Large egg
* 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
* 2 cups bread flour
* 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 teaspoons yeast

Filling
* 1/3 cup sugar
* 1 tablespoon cinnamon
* 2 tablespoons melted butter

Glaze
* 1 cup powdered sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 tablespoon milk to start, more as needed

1. Load dough ingredients in bread machine and use the dough cycle.  When complete, punch the dough and rest for 10 minutes.

2. Mix filling ingredients and set aside. Grease a 9x9 pan.

3. Roll dough into a 9 inch square, spread melted butter and sprinkle filling. Roll dough and cut rolls 1 inch thick (I use fishing line to cut with, works better than a knife). Place in pan and allow rolls to rise for 1 hour or doubled.

4. Bake in preheated oven at 375 until golden brown.
5. Mix glaze add more milk if needed (it should pour easily). Drizzle over the rolls while still warm.
