Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 2 Large eggs
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until it is warm, but not hot (about 110°F). Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup unsalted butter until melted. Allow the mixture to cool slightly until lukewarm.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the milk mixture, yeast mixture, and eggs. Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring with a wooden spoon or using a stand mixer with a dough hook. Knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to make the filling.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a 16x12-inch rectangle. Spread the softened unsalted butter (1/4 cup for filling) evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture.

Step 7

Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal-sized rolls.

Step 8

Place the rolls into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, leaving space between each roll. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.

Step 10

While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting by beating the cream cheese, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and creamy.

Step 11

Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the warm rolls.

Step 12

Serve the cinnamon rolls warm and enjoy the heavenly goodness!
