Directions
1. Grease two 9 x 13-inch pans; set aside.
2. In large bowl, dissolve 1 tsp sugar in warm (110-115°F) water. Stir in Yeast; let stand for 10 minutes, or until foamy. Whisk in milk (110-115°F), sugar, egg and butter.
3. Add 3 cups flour and salt; mix until smooth. Add another 4+1/2 cups flour. Stir briskly with wooden spoon until well mixed. If necessary, gradually add remaining 1/2 cup flour to make soft dough. On lightly floured surface, knead dough about 8 - 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover; let rest in warm place 10 minutes.
4. In small bowl, combine sugars and cinnamon; set aside
5. After 10 minute rising of dough, turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 portions. Roll a portion of dough into 15 x 10-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll up tightly as for jelly roll, beginning at wide side. Pinch seam to seal. With sharp knife, slice roll into 1½ -inch pieces. Place cut sides up in prepared pan. Repeat with remaining dough portions. Cover and let rise in warm place until indentation remains after lightly touching, about about 45 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pans to wire rack to cool. In small bowl, combine icing sugar and milk; stir until smooth. Drizzle warm rolls with glaze.
*You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) yeast in place of Active Dry Yeast. When using Instant Yeast, expect your dough to rise faster. Always let your dough rise until ripe. Traditional methods: use equal amounts; Bread Machine: use 1/2 tsp Instant Yeast OR 3/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast per cup of flour in your recipe.

Very easy and yummy!!!! Family loves them and these are now a saturday morning tradition. My only advice, I was out of butter and used margarine, the texture changed of course the taste changed a little. I highly recommend using real butter. Thanks Red Star!
