Clone of a Cinnabon (Bread Machine)

Yes, isn't it great when you can use your bread machine!  My back went out last week (it happens to the best of us) and I needed to find a way to get multiple gifts from the kitchen out the door.  These cinnamon rolls are a great way to bake for many, as each batch makes 15-18 rolls.  Who wouldn't love to receive these beauties? 

So far, I've made 6 batches and the recipe has been sucessful each time.  To help my back out, now I roll them out on my glass top stove which actually works out great!   Amy over at New Nostalgia inspired me to make this wonderful recipe (go have a peak at her gorgeous kitchen).

CLONE OF A CINNABON
from Allrecipes.com

1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) (warm in microwave 45 sec)
2 eggs, room temperature (put them in glass of warm water 30 sec to bring to temp)
1/3 cup margarine, melted (I used unsalted butter)
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar (I used Stevia in the Raw)
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.

After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.

1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (I used Saigon Cinnamon)
1/3 cup butter, softened

Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.

1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
