1 Hour Cinnamon Rolls

I have been wanting to attempt to make cinnamon rolls for a long time, but I had heard that they were really hard to make.  And since I really hate making things that are hard to make... I never tried.  (I am an "If it's easy to make, I'll give it a try" kinda girl!)  Welllll... I ran across a
1 hour cinnamon rolls recipe 
and thought I would give it a go. 
They were simple to make,
aaand so good!! 
Big, fluffy mounds of Dee-to-the-lish!!  Definitely going to be made over and over up in here!  I put the recipe below just in case you would like to give it a try.

1 Hour Cinnamon Rolls
Dough:
5 1/4 cup white unbleached bread flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 Tbsp salt
1 1/2 Tbsp instant yeast
1 egg
2 cups hot water
**Mix dry ingredients. Add egg and water. Mix for 1 minute and check consistency. If dough is too dry, add a tiny amount of water. If too moist, add a little flour. Mix for 5 minutes. Spray counter with Pam. Roll out dough until it is about 16 by 21 inches.
Filling:
1 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
1/3 cup softened butter
**Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the surface. Roll the dough up from the long side and cut into 16 slices. Place into two 9×13 pans sprayed with Pam. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes. Bake at 400 for 13 minutes.
Icing:
1 stick butter, softened
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
**While the rolls are baking, beat cream cheese and butter until combined, add vanilla, salt, and sugar and beat until fluffy–a few seconds. When rolls are done, immediately spread with icing. Best eaten warm. Enjoy!!!
