Mention the intention to reverse engineer the Cinnabon recipe.

State that the dough is made with oil, not butter, and that margarine is used in the filling and frosting.

Add butter extract to the dough to compensate for the lack of butter flavor.

Punch down the dough after letting it rise for about an hour.

Roll the dough into a rectangle, being meticulous about the shape.

Spread margarine on the dough and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top without mixing the filling.

Roll the dough tightly, leaving about an inch of dough without filling at the end for sealing.

Score the rolled dough into 1 and 1/2 inch pieces using a bench scraper and measuring tape for precision.

Reshape the cinnamon rolls to make them round again as they are placed in the pan, keeping the flaps on the inside.

Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise again before baking.

Prepare the frosting by mixing cornstarch and water, and incorporating corn syrup solids and lemon flavor.
