Quick & Easy No Rise Cinnamon Rolls

Directions

1. 1
   Stir together the water, yeast, sugar, and olive oil in a measuring cup. Allow to rest for 5 minutes to activate the yeast. The yeast should bloom and the top should be some what foamy. If it doesn't bloom, your yeast may not be any good. While the yeast is blooming, whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl, ready to be attached to a stand mixer, fitted with a dough hook. If you do not have a dough hook, you can knead this by hand. The yeast should still be blooming, so mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.Your 5 minutes should be up by now, so pour the yeast mixture into the flour, and give it a good stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Once mixed together, place onto the stand mixer, and allow the dough hook to do the rest. I put mine on medium speed. Set your timer for 10 minutes.*If you are kneading your dough by hand, see the notes, then come back to step 4.* During this time, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and if your using a cast iron skillet, put a little oil on a paper towel and wipe the bottom and sides. I used a 10 inch skillet. You can also bake these in two pie plates or an 11X7 inch pan. Make sure to spray those down with non stick cooking spray, if that is what you use. Check on your dough - if it looks overly sticky, add a tablespoon of flour. Living in the south, if our humidity is high on the day I make these, I may have to add up to 3 tablespoons of flour, one at a time.
2. 2
   Roll out your dough into a uniform, or as uniform as you can get rectangle. Using an off set spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the butter on to the dough.
3. 3
   Sprinkle the entire thing with ALL of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
4. 4
   Roll the dough, long ways, where you have a long roll, and slice into 1 inch discs.
5. 5
   Place into the prepared pan, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the dough is completely cooked. You can check this by using a knife and pulling one of the rolls in the center away from another one. The dough will look under baked if they aren't ready.While the cinnamon rolls are baking, prepare the topping by creaming together the cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. When the cinnamon rolls are baked, remove from the oven, set a timer for 5 minutes. Once the timer has went off, it's time to spread the topping on and enjoy!
