Add 1 cup of flour to water mixture. Stir until all flour has been mixed in. Add remaining flour from the large bowl that was set aside and stir in until a soft dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic or a towel. Let dough rest and double in size. It will take about 30 minutes depending on how warm your kitchen is. Cold air in the kitchen might make the dough take a little onger proofing.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough about a 12x16 rectagnle. Spread butter over surface of dough. You may not use it all depending on how much butter you want. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over surface. Roll dough tightly with the 12 inch side.
- Cut dough into 12 slices with a pizza cutter. Place cut side down in the pan. Cover and let sit until dough doubles in size. Preheat oven to 350°. When ready, bake rolls for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. If desired heat in the microwave for about 20 seconds just after the rolls come out of the oven. Glaze while the rolls are warm. Let stand for about 2 minutes. Serve rolls warm. A knife may be needed to loosen them from the pan.
