     Mom's BEST Cinnamon Rolls

Category   Breakfast - Brunch
Sub Category   None
Servings   16

Ingredients
1/2 Tbsp yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup milk
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp sugar
4 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup mashed potatoes (Can use instant mashed potatoes)
1 egg, beaten
4 plus cups flour
 
Butter, softened
Brown Sugar
Cinnamon

Instructions
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Set aside. Scald milk and add salt, sugar, and butter. Whisk until dissolved. Let cool. Prepare mashed potatoes if needed. About 1/3 cup instant flakes with 1/3 plus cup HOT water. Just enough water to be smooth, but remain thick. Set aside.
Beat egg and place in a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Add milk mixture, yeast mixture, and potatoes. Gradually add flour. It will be a sticky dough, so don't add too much more than the 4 cups of flour, but make sure that when it kneads it is moving around well. Knead 5-10 minutes. Dump the sticky dough into a greased bowl. Cover with a towel and let rest for 1 hour. Empty rested dough onto a floured surface. Sprinkle top with flour and pat dough flat. Using a floured rolling pin, roll dough into a rectangle, making sure to lift dough periodically to make sure it is not adhering to the countertop; dust with flour as necessary. Roll dough 1/4-1/2-inch thick.
Using a pastry brush spread softened, NOT MELTED, butter over dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar, and smear/spread with hand to evenly disperse sugar, leaving a small seam on the edge just buttered so that it will stick together when it is rolled up. Sprinkle cinnamon on top of brown sugar. Be thorough, they are CINNAMON rolls, so you want to have a nice coating of cinnamon. Start rolling from the opposite end that you saved for your seam. Roll as evenly as you can. Make sure you roll tightly, but not pulling/stretching the dough. Using floss or sewing thread, cut rolls about 2 1/2-inches thick. Place cinnamon rolls on a greased baking sheet, about an inch apart. Pat the tops a little bit to make sure everything is even and flat. Cover with a towel and let rise for 1 hour. Scoot rolls closer together, if desired.
Bake risen rolls at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 13-17 minutes or until browned on top and dough is fully baked, checking where the rings of cinnamon sugar are. Let cool and top with your favorite icing & a sprinkle of cinnamon.
