Homemade Cinnamon Rolls {Recipe}

My sister couldn't believe it when I said I'd never made homemade cinnamon rolls before these. I don't know, it just seems like a lot of work.
I will say that these aren't in any way simple, but none of the work is confusing or hard, they just take a lot of time.

In the end, though, I say they're worth it.
A friend, who told me she holds her breath when she walks by Cinnabon at the mall... (Gasp! I know, crazy, right?!)... actually tried these at a brunch I hosted, and liked them enough to have another!!

What You Need:
For the dough:
2 pkgs. yeast (approx. 5 tsp.)
1 cup warm water (105-110 degrees)
1 cup evaporated milk
