Caramel Cinnamon Rolls

I love baking, bread, cookies, cakes, you get the idea. This is my recipe for caramel cinnamon rolls. Most basic bread recipes are similar, yeast, sugar to activate the yeast, flour, eggs, milk or other liquid, and fat. What sets my recipe apart is the filling. Start by activating the yeast. Add a packet of active yeast to 1/2 cup of warm (not hot) water. Add a teaspoon of sugar. Let this sit about 5 minutes until it starts to foam. If there is no foaming, the yeast is not fresh. In the mixer bowl add: 2 eggs 1/4 cup sugar 1 stick softened butter 1 cup milk 1/2 teaspoon salt Mix all the ingredients well. Switch to a dough hook and start slowly adding 4 cups of bread flour. Stop adding when the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead for 6 to 7 minutes. Place dough in a well oiled bowl and turn it so the entire ball of dough is covered in oil. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm, draft free space until double in size, about 90 minutes.
