Gooey Overnight Cinnamon Rolls

1. In a small bowl, add in the yeast, warm water, and the 1 tsp. of sugar. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it gets foamy.
2. In a separate large bowl, add in the butter and milk. Place into the microwave for 45 seconds. Stir.
3. Microwave for another 45 seconds.
4. Add the yeast mixture into the large bowl with the butter and milk. Stir.
5. Add the remaining sugar and the beaten eggs and whisk to combine.
6. Add in 4 1/2 cups of bread flour and beat with a stand mixer and dough hook. When it comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, it's ready.
7. Place the dough into a clean bowl and add the vegetable oil. Roll so the dough is coated with oil.
8. Cover with a tea towel and place into a warm place to rise.
9. Once the dough has doubled, punch it down. Flour the clean work surface with the remaining 1/2 cup of flour and begin to roll out the dough. Make sure you have a nice rectangle form. I would say I rolled mine out close to 16 inches by 18 inches.
10. Add the filling on top of the rolled out dough and spread out. Make sure to get the filling close to the edges, but leave a little room to prevent all the goodness from spilling out.The filling directions are down below.
11. Roll your dough up nice and tight. If you want the cinnamon rolls fatter, roll from the 16 inch side. If you want smaller rolls and more of them, roll from the 18 inch side. Pinch the end of the dough together with the roll to attach it.
12. Using an unflavored floss, slide it under the dough. Measure about an inch and half and criss-cross the floss and cut the rolls. Repeat for all of the rolls. I'll fill you in on something, sometimes I use flavored floss if I have nothing else. The rolls have never tasted minty to me.
13. Spray a half sheet pan (12x18) or a 9x13 and a 8x8 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
14. Place the cinnamon rolls side by side into the pans.
