Refrigerator Sweet Rolls

from Annette

2 TBS yeast
3/4 cup warm water
3 cups buttermilk
8 cups flour
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
1/2 TBS salt
1 tsp. baking soda

butter, softened
sugar
brown sugar
cinnamon

1.  Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a large bowl with a lid.

2.  In seperate container heat buttermilk to lukewarm (I do 2 minutes in the microwave).

3.  Add the buttermilk to yeast mixture and stir well.  Add 3 cups flour, beat well with a large wire whisk.  Let this mixture rise for 30 to 60 minutes.

4.  After your yeast mixture has raised, in a seperate bowl whip together eggs, sugar, oil, salt, and baking soda.  Add this mixture to your yeast mixture.  Whisk together well.   Add remaining 5 cups flour and stir well.

5.  Put the lid on your large bowl and refrigerate dough overnight.  (The dough will rise in the fridge so make sure your bowl is large enough to let it raise and not remove the lid)

6.  In the morning, put flour on counter (This dough is sticky but don't add more flour than you need.  Just enough so it doesn't stick to the counter.)  Roll out your dough to a large rectangle.  Spread with softened butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar, sugar, and  cinnamon.  Roll up and cut with a string or dental floss.  Place on greased or lined cookie sheets.  Makes 2 dozen cinnamon rolls.  Let rise of 15 minutes.

7.  Preheat oven while rolls are raising.  Bake at 400℉ for 15 minutes.  Glaze as soon as the rolls come out of oven.   (recipe follows)

Glaze:

2/3 cup butter
4 cups powdered sugar
3 tsp. vanilla extract
4 TBS. hot water

1.  Mix all ingredients together until smooth.

2.  Drizzle on cinnamon rolls.
