Frosting

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a saucepan, heat milk and butter until warm but not boiling. Add to the dry ingredients along with eggs and mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Melt the butter for spreading on the dough.

  3. 3

    Roll the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread melted butter over the surface, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.

  4. 4

    Shape and Cut

    Starting from one long side, roll up the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place in a greased baking dish.

  5. 5

    Second Rise

    Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Bake

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

  7. 7

    Make the Frosting

    While the rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Once the rolls are baked and slightly cooled, spread the frosting on top and serve warm.
