Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 23 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add sugar, butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
  • Roll dough into a rectangle. Spread with softened butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 12 rolls. Place in a greased baking pan and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Mix cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to make the frosting. Spread over warm rolls.

Notes

  • Ensure the milk is warm (not hot) to activate the yeast.
  • Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for best results.
