DIRECTIONS
In the pan of your bread machine, combine water, melted butter, vanilla pudding, warm milk, egg, 1 tablespoon sugar, salt, bread flour and yeast. Set machine to Dough cycle; press Start.
When Dough cycle has finished, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 17x10 inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter. In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over dough.
Roll up dough, beginning with long side. Slice into 16 one inch slices and place in 9x13 buttered pan. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. While rolls bake, stir together cream cheese, softened butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and milk. Remove rolls from oven and top with frosting.

WOW....That is some recipe, looks delicious. I've never used a bread machine I always use my hands or the food processor but I don't see why what you want to do wouldn't work. You're basically doing the same thing just in a different machine.

my thought is that the bread machine is working from the underside mixing together. If I place all in bowl and use dough hook, will it mix together right. Do I need to mix wet first, then dry, or does it really matter. I am going to try this for work, so I guess it may be a trial and error thing. Not doing until monday, so anyones suggestions would be great.

KitchenAid recommends mixing dry ingredients, including yeast, but withhold one cup of flour . Use dough hook, and place dry ingred. into bowl and turn to speed 2 to combine ingredients. Gradually add mixed liquid ingredients and mix for about 2 minutes. Gently add remaining flour, one-half cup at a time until dough starts to clean the sides of the bowl. Knead on speed 2 for 2 more minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Remove dough from bowl and proceed with rising, shaping and baking as instructed in your recipe.

I made these today, made small ones to take to work, and they were great. everyone loves them. My dtr had fun helping. Ended up dividing dough in half and rollig twice as much. Filled a 12 x 18 pan with mini rolls.
Only baked for 10 min, though. worked great in my kitchen aid, althouh I had to leave on knead hook for aprox 5-7 min. and still kneaded a little on counter. thanks for the help.
