Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Milk, warm
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and divided
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 4 ounces Low sodium cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt substitute

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of melted butter, egg, granulated sugar, salt substitute, and the yeast mixture.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.

Step 5

Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a 16x21-inch rectangle on a floured surface.

Step 6

Brush the remaining 3 tablespoons of melted butter over the rolled-out dough.

Step 7

In a bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.

Step 8

Starting at one of the long edges, tightly roll up the dough, then cut into 12 equal slices.

Step 9

Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, cover them, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 12

While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting by beating the low sodium cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth.

Step 13

Once the rolls are done, let them cool slightly, then spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls. Serve immediately.
