Most delicious cinnamon rolls

I made these cinnamon rolls for my family reunion in June and somehow the recipe got left behind!  Luckily I was able to get another copy from my friend Andi who I originally acquired it from.  Thought I might share it with everyone so that I couldn't lose it again!
The original recipe was double this but I have never made it because I don't think my mixer is big enough!  I included all my tips to make these truly the most delicious cinnamon roll.  Remember that sometimes it takes a few batches before you can get them perfect.  When I first started making cinnamon rolls, they would always turn out overdone and dry and thought I'd never be able to make them right but after a few years of practicing and trying different recipes, I can make them perfectly delicious!

Fool Proof Rolls
Mix together the following ingredients:

2 1/2 cups warm water (110-115 degrees)
1/2 cup dry milk

1 1/2 Tablespoons yeast
1/4 cup sugar (+1/8 c for cinnamon rolls)

1/4 cup oil
1 egg (at room temperature)
1 Tablespoon salt

Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes  Mix in 5 1/2 cups flour.  Knead on speed 2 or 3 for 7 minutes.  The dough will be really soft.  Only add as much flour as the dough is manageable as it will result in a more lighter roll.  Place dough in a greased bowl until double making sure to cover with greased lid or greased plastic wrap.  Roll out as you like.

For cinnamon rolls I will roll out the dough in a giant rectangle-like shape and brush with plenty of melted butter, cinnamon and brown sugar.  You can also add chopped nuts or any other stuffing items you like.  Roll the dough in a giant tube being careful not to spill any contents.  Cut into 1/2 inch slices.  I like to use dental floss as it makes a cleaner cut without pinching the dough much.  Place in a pan lined with parchment paper with each roll just touching each other.  Allow to raise until double again while you preheat the oven.  Bake @ 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown.  I recommend testing a middle piece to make sure it isn't doughy in the middle. Top with favorite frosting after rolls have mostly cooled.  I prefer cream cheese frosting.
