1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until warm (not hot). Add the milk mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
2
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3
Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter until well combined.
4
Roll Out the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
5
Form the Buns
Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
6
Second Rise
Cover the baking dish with a towel and let the buns rise for another 30 minutes.
7
Bake the Buns
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the buns for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
8
Make the Frosting
While the buns are baking, mix together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
9
Frost and Serve
Once the buns are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before spreading the cream cheese frosting on top. Serve warm.
