This recipe seems crazy, but it works! You can have hot, delicious cinnamon buns in about an hour and a half.

Ingredients

4 cups flour, divided
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 envelopes quick rise yeast
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs

Filling:
3 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Icing:
1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
1 cup icing (confectioners) sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1. Heat milk to 120 degrees F. to 130 degrees F.
2. In large mixer bowl, add 3 cups of the flour, sugar, salt and yeast, and mix together.
3. Add milk, butter and eggs.
4. Using electric mixer with dough hook, mix on medium speed for 2 minutes to blend. Reduce speed to low, and mix for 5 minutes to knead. Gradually add the remaining cup of flour to make a soft dough that comes away from the sides of the bowl. (add more flour if required).
5. Place dough on a floured surface and roll out in a rectangle (about 15 inches x 10 inches)

Filling:

1. Mix filling ingredients together and sprinkle over dough. 
2. Roll up like a jelly roll.
3. Cut roll into buns (8-12 depending on the size you want).
4. Place in a greased 9×13 inch pan.
5. Cover the pan with a cloth and let sit for 20 minutes.
6. Place in COLD oven, and then set the temperature  to 350 degrees F. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
7. Let cool for 10 minutes

Icing:

1. Mix icing ingredients together (I use a mini food processor to do this).
2. Spread over buns.

Notes

This is based on a recipe I found in a recipe calendar. That recipe did not call for any kneading and did not have a very nice texture, so I tweaked it and came up with these buns. They would be quite expensive to make using individually packaged yeast, but I use the bulk yeast in a jar (the jar label has the amount of yeast that is equivalent to one package). 

This recipe is from Yeast Breads.
