Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Prepare the Dough

In a small bowl, warm the milk until it is lukewarm. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Make the Filling

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Set both aside.

Roll Out the Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Add the Filling

Spread the cream cheese evenly over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.

Roll and Slice

Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough up into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.

Second Rise

Cover the dish with a cloth and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake the Rolls

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.

Make the Icing

While the rolls are baking, mix the powdered sugar and vanilla extract with a little milk until you reach the desired icing consistency.

Glaze and Serve

Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the icing over the warm rolls and serve.
