Cinnamon Roll Sunday

To brighten up this rather rainy day, my mother and I decided to make cinnamon rolls.  We actually found the recipe on Allrecipes.com and decided to change it up a little bit from there.  We subtracted the raisins, walnuts, and the white sugar from the original. Instead we added brown sugar, pecans, dried cranberries and diced apples. 
Dough:

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons butter

3/4 teaspoon salt

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

1/4 cup white sugar

1 egg

Filling:

3 tablespoons softened butter

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup dried cranberries (optional)

1/3 cup chopped pecans (optional)

1/3 cup finely chopped apples (optional)

Icing:

1 cup confectioners' sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 tablespoons milk

Put wet ingredients in the bread machine first, then add the dry and select the right dough cycle. 

Once Dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and punch down. On a floured surface, roll into a large rectangle. Smear with the softened butter. Combine the cinnamon and 1/3 cup sugar. Sprinkle over the rectangle. Generously sprinkle the raisins and/or chopped nuts over the top.

Roll the dough up into a log starting at the long side. Cut into 12 slices. Place the rolls cut side down into a 9x13-inch greased baking pan. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30 minutes.

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). For the icing, combine the confectioners' sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk into a thick frosting; set aside.

Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with the frosting and allow to cool 10 minutes.

These were amazing! Perfectly moist and warm and fluffy and just absolutely delicious!  Might be the best we have made.  I hope you all enjoy!! :)
