Servings 12 rolls

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

For the rolls

• 1 cup milk warm
• 2 room temperature eggs
• ⅓ cup melted butter
• 4 ½ cup bread flour
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 ¼ ounce non-instant yeast

For the filling

• 1 packed cup brown
• 2 ½ tbsp ground cinnamon ground
• ⅓ cup butter softened

For the icing

• 3 oz cream cheese softened
• ¼ cup butter softened
• 1 ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ⅛ tsp salt

Instructions

 

• Heat the milk for 45-60 seconds in the microwave.
• In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warmed milk.
• Mix sugar, butter, salt, eggs, and flour into the yeast and milk concoction.
• Using your hands dusted lightly with flour, knead dough into a large ball.
• Spray a bowl with cooking spray, add the ball and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
• Let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, thoroughly combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Coat the rolling surface with cooking spray or sprinkle flour on it.
• Roll dough to about 1/4 inch thickness into a 16 x 21 inch rectangle.
• Spread ⅓ cup softened butter over dough and sprinkle sugar/cinnamon mixture evenly over dough.
• Starting with the longer side, roll up dough. Cut into 12 large rolls.
• Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish and place rolls in it.
• Cover and let rise about 30 minutes, until nearly doubled.
• While waiting for rolls to rise, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
• Bake rolls in preheated oven about 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, mix up the cream cheese, butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract and salt and combine well.
• Once the rolls are done, while still warm, spread the frosting on so that it melts into the roll.
