Last Baking Class - One Hour Cinnamon Rolls

I am so mad at myself for not taking pictures of our last cooking class. It was a whirlwind of a class though so I am not beating myself up about it too much. And don't let the lack of picture stop you from making these rolls! We made a double batch of this dough and if I had paid more attention to the recipe I would have realized that one batch makes a TON of rolls. Oh well!  It fed the masses that came to visit our house for the weekend. Anyhow, these rolls are super tasty and really take such a small amount of time to make. I recommend when you split the dough in half to make one half of the down cinnamon and the other half orange. So worth it! YUM!!!
One Hour Cinnamon Rolls
Mix and let sit for 15 minutes:
3 1/2 c. warm water
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil

 Then add:
1 T. salt
3 eggs
10 1/2 c. flour 
Mix together for 10 minutes, then sit for 10 minutes. Oil cupboard, dump out dough. Divide in half. Roll one half out into rectangle. Spread with ¼ c. melted butter and then with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll up tight, but not too tight. Divide into 12 rolls and place on greased cookie sheet. Repeat with other half of dough. Let rise. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 400.
