Easy Breadsticks/Cinnamon Rolls/White Bread

 April 2019:  I just made these for conference for cinnamon rolls.  I made half, did half whole wheat, skipped the eggs, and did this recipe for the icing.  It was good.

This is a recipe I got from Risa.  I use it all the time.  I have never made the white bread so I can't say anything about that but I love the breadsticks/cinnamon roll dough.  This recipe makes a lot which is nice.  It makes two big cookie sheets of breadsticks so you may want to half it, if just doing breadsticks.  Lately I have been taking half and making one pan of breadsticks and about 2 dozen cinnamon rolls with the rest.  Risa says this will also make 4 loaves of bread baked at 350 for 25 min.


4 C. hot water
1/3 C. sugar
3 T. yeast
3 tsp. salt
2 eggs (Risa added to recipe for better texture)
8-10 C. of flour

Mix all ingredients except for the flour.  Add enough flour until mixture pulls away from sides.  Knead for 5 min. in mixer. Let rise until double in size.  Then...

For Breadsticks:
Grease 2 large cookie sheets.  Put 1/2 of dough in each cookie sheet.  Roll it out. Brush with melted butter.  Season how you want.  What I have been loving lately is the crumbly store bought parmesean with garlic salt, and italian seasoning.  Cut with pizza cutter into breadsticks.  Let rise again. Bake at 400 for 15-18 min or until lightly golden.

For Cinnamon Rolls:
Roll out dough on greased cookie sheet.  Brush with about 1/4 C. melted butter.  Sprinkle with a lot of cinnamon.  Sprinkle with brown sugar.  Roll the dough up.  Cut with dental floss into rolls. Place on greased cookie sheet.  Let rise until double.  Bake at 350 for about 12 min or until golden brown.  Smooth icing over warm cinnamon rolls.  I would either do a basic frosting recipe and add a little more milk to make it a tad more runny or I would use this cream cheese frosting recipe from Betty Crocker. I did the cream cheese recipe this last time and it was a good amount for the rolls and tasted so creamy!

Cream Cheese Frosting

Mix these ingredients:

1 package of cream cheese, softened (8 0z.)
1/4 C. butter, softened
2-3 tsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
4 C. powdered sugar
