Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 room temperature eggs
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 package yeast NOT INSTANT
  • For the filling:
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 TBSP cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • For the icing:
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Begin by warming your milk in the microwave for 1 minute. In a large bowl dissolve the yeast in the warmed milk.
  • Add sugar, butter, eggs, salt and flour and mix well. Dust your hands lightly with flour and knead dough into a large ball. Place the ball into a large bowl sprayed with cooking spray (I use Pam) and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
  • Place the bowl in a warm place, or on top of your stove with the oven set to 250°. Let the dough rise until it has nearly doubled in size, roughly 1 hour.
  • Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle flour onto your work surface. Roll dough into an approximately 16×20 inch rectangle. You want your dough to be roughly 1/4 inch thick.
  • Brush the dough with melted butter. Evenly sprinkle brown sugar/ cinnamon mixture over the dough.
  • Using the long edge of the dough closest to you, roll away from yourself to form a log.
  • Slice the log into 12 evenly sized rolls. Place the rolls into 2 lightly greased (I spray mine with Pam) 9×13 inch glass baking dishes. Cover with a dishcloth and allow the rolls to rise until nearly doubled. This takes 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • *At this point in the process you can leave the covered rolls on your counter and allow them to rise overnight.*
  • Preheat your oven to 350°. Bake the rolls for about 20 minutes, until golden brown.
  • While the rolls are baking, make the icing by beating together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, salt and vanilla extract.
  • When the rolls are warm out of the oven, spread half of the icing over them.
  • Let the rolls sit for a few minutes. Then spread the other half of the icing on them.
