• Dough Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) butter, melted
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
• 1/2 package instant vanilla pudding -(1/2 of a 3-1/3 oz (95.2 grm). box)
• 1 cup (225 ml) milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) sugar
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
• 4 cups (950 ml) all-purpose flour (unbleached is best)
• 2-1/2 tsp (12.5 ml) yeast
• Filling:
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) butter, melted
• 1 cup (225 ml) brown sugar
• 2 tsp (10 ml) ground cinnamon
• raisins (optional)
• chopped nuts (optional)
• Frosting:
• 4 oz (112 grm). cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) butter, softened
• 1-1/2 cups (350 ml) confectioners sugar
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) vanilla
• 1-1/2 tsp (7 ml) milk
• 1/4 tsp (1 ml) vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp (1 ml) almond extract

• Dough:
• Place ingredients in your bread machine following its specifications for the dough cycle.
• When it is completed with the dough making option, remove from machine and roll out to a 17 inch x 10 inch (approx.) rectangle.
• Filling:
• Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon, set aside.
• Spread melted butter over dough.
• Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon mixture and the raisins and chopped nuts if you want them, on top of the buttered dough.
• Roll tightly from long end, pinching edges closed when completely rolled.
• Slice rolled dough into 3/4" slices, (I use the dental floss trick and avoid the problems with knife slicing).
• Place into greased cake pans. (I use just my rectangle turkey roaster!).
• Let rise until doubled.
• Bake at 350 degrees (175 C.) for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden--Do not overbake! Essential to keep them tender and perfectly textured.
• Frosting:
• Mix all the ingredients together. (I have also used rum and brandy for flavorings with great success).
• Spread on very warm rolls.

Absolutely best with freshly ground coffee beans brewed into a rich hot coffee mixed with frothed steamed milk and the warm cinnamon-y decadent buns.. oh, yum.
