Ingredients

For the dough:
1 quart whole milk
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
2 packages (4 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
9 cups all-purpose flour
1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
1 scant teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoons salt
For the filling:
2 cups melted butter, plus more as needed
1/4 cup ground cinnamon for sprinkling
2 cups sugar, plus more as needed
For the maple icing:
2 lb powdered sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, melted
1/4 cup strongly brewed coffee
Dash of salt
1 tablespoon maple flavoring or maple extract

Steps:

dough: Heat the milk, vegetable oil, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Do not allow the mixture to boil. Carefully pour into heat proof mixing bowl and cool to lukewarm, about 20 minutes. When cooled to lukewarm, sprinkle the yeast on top and let sit on milk 1 minute. Add 8 cups flour to bowl and stir until combined. Cover with towel; set aside in a warm place for 1 hour. Remove towel and stir in baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 cup flour. Use the dough right away, or refrigerate for up to 3 days, punching down the dough if it rises to the top of the bowl. assemble: remove half the dough from bowl and place on a floured work surface. Roll into a large rectangle, about 30 x 10-inches. filling: Pour 1 cup melted butter over the surface of the dough. Spread evenly. sprinkle half of the ground cinnamon and 1 cup of the sugar over the butter. Beginning at the end farthest from you, roll the rectangle tightly toward you to create a log. Use both hands and work slowly, being careful to keep the roll tight and not worrying if the filling oozes out a bit. Pinch the seams together. Transfer to a cutting board and make 1 1/2 inch slices. One log will produce 20 to 25 rolls. Pour 2 tablespoons of melted butter into the pie pans or baking dishes and brush to coat. Place the sliced rolls int the pans, being careful not to over-crowd. Preheat the oven to 375. Cover the pans with a kitchen towel and set aside to rise on the countertop for at least 20 minutes. bake for 13 to 17 minutes, until golden brown. maple icing: whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, butter, coffee and salt. Add the maple flavoring and whisk until very smooth. When the rolls come out of the oven,drizzle the icing over the top,
