60 Minute Cinnamon Rolls

My mom made these yummy cinnamon rolls yesterday morning :)

1 3/4 cups warm water
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
3 TBL yeast
1/2 tsp gluten (optional...it will guarantee that your dough rises and makes the dough lighter)

Mix above ingredients well and let sit for 18 minutes.

Add:
1/2 txp salt
2 eggs
5-6 cups of flour

Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness and spread with brown sugar and cinammon. Cut and put into pans. Let rise 10 minutes. Bake 10-15 minutes at 425. (Although, we turned down the oven to about 350 because it was burning the bottoms by the time the tops were brown...watch carefully :)
