Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls

3 (2.5 ounce) packages of active dry yeast

2 1/2 cups of warm water

1 (8.25 ounce) package of white cake mix

4 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour

1/2 cup of butter, softened

1/2 cup of brown sugar

2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon

1/4 cup of melted butter 

1/3 cup of white sugar

Step 1...In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.  Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

Step 2...In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the cake mix and three cups of flour: stir to combine.  Add the remaining flour. 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition.  When he dough has pulled together, turn it out on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.

Step 3...Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and coat with oil.  Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.

Step 4...Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.  Roll the dough into a 10x16 inch rectangle.  Spread with softened butter and sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.  Starting from one of the long sides roll up the triangle and cut into 1 inch wide rolls.

Step 5...Preheat oven to 375 drees.  Grease a 9x13 baking pan.  Pour the melted butter into a small bowl.  Dip the top of each roll into the butter and then into the sugar and then place dipped rolls snuggly into a prepared 9x13pan.  Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.

Step 6...Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until rolls is golden brown.

Sidenote...we made a cream cheese icing and added it when the rolls had cooked for awhile.
