Mom's Amazing Quick Cinnamon Rolls

1/3 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons yeast
1/2 cup oil
1 1/4 cups warm water
2 beaten eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
5 1/4 cups flour

1) In a large bowl mix sugar, yeast and oil with warm water until dissolved. Cover and let stand in warm place.
2) Blend eggs into yeast mixture. Add salt to flour, then gradually add to yeast mixture to make soft dough.
3) Knead dough 5 minutes. Roll dough into rectangle about 1/4" thick.
4) Brush dough with melted butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar and then with cinnamon.
5) Carefully roll up dough and cut 1" slices. Place in greased rectangular pan. Let rolls rest 10 minutes.
6) Bake at 425* for 10-15 minutes or until golden.
7) Frost with glaze while still warm.

* These were always a treat growing up in our house. To this day, they are by far the best cinnamon rolls I have ever tasted. The smell of them baking in the oven is enough to make your mouth water!
