Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast (or instant yeast)
1 cup milk (lukewarm)
½ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup butter (unsalted, softened, or margarine)
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
3 tablespoon cinnamon
⅓ cup butter (unsalted, softened, or margarine)
6 tablespoon butter (unsalted, softened, or margarine)
1 ½ cups powdered sugar (also known as icing sugar, or confectioner's sugar)
¼ cup cream cheese (at room temperature)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt

Steps:

For the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk with a tsp of sugar (you can take a tsp out of the 1/2 cup of sugar) in a large bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. If the yeast is good, it will start to froth up.
To the bowl of your mixer add the sugar, butter or margarine, salt, eggs, and flour and mix until well incorporated.
Pour the milk/yeast mixture over the flour mixture and using the dough hook, mix well until well incorporated and the dough comes clean from the side of the bowl.
Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, until it is approximately 16 inches long by 12 inches wide. It should be approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.
Spread the 1/3 cup of butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the sugar evenly over the surface of the dough.
Working carefully, from the long edge, roll the dough down to the bottom edge.
Cut the dough into 1 1/2 inch slices, and place in a lightly greased baking pan. You can also use floss to cut into slices, as seen in the video. Place the cut rolls in the prepared pan. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cooking time can vary greatly!
While the rolls are baking make the icing by mixing all the icing ingredients and beat well with an electric mixer until fluffy and smooth.
When the rolls are done, spread generously with icing.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
Make sure the milk and butter are lukewarm, not hot, before adding them to the yeast mixture.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Roll the dough out into a rectangle and spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over it.
Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side, and pinch the edges together to seal.
Cut the dough into 12 even rolls and place them in a greased baking dish.
Let the rolls rise again in a warm place until they have doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown, about 25 minutes.
Serve the rolls warm, with cream cheese frosting or your favorite glaze.
