Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls

shared by Dara P.

Ingredients:

2 pkgs. rapid rise yeast

2 1/2 cups warm water
1 pkg. of cake mix, calls for white (I used yellow)
1 cup flour
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 tsp. salt
5 1/2 cups flour

Filling:

3/4 cup melted butter

1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:

1.      Place yeast and water in a bowl to proof for 10 minutes. 

2.      Add cake mix, eggs, the 1 cup of flour, oil and salt and mix until bubbly. 

3.      Gradually stir in remaining 5 1/2 cups flour to make a soft dough. 

4.      Turn out onto floured surface and knead until smooth. 

5.      Place in a greased  bowl, cover and let rise until double. 

6.      When risen, punch down, turn out and roll until about 1/2 inch thick.  (This makes a lot of dough so I had to do it in two parts because I didn't have a large enough counter). 

7.      Add  cinnamon, sugar and butter, roll up and cut. 

8.      This made 16 JUMBO rolls for me but it would easily make 24 regular rolls. Cover and let rise.

9.      Bake 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
