Sharable Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add melted butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually stir in flour until a soft dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead and Rise

   Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3. 3

   Prepare the Filling

   In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

4. 4

   Roll the Dough

   Once risen, roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread softened butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.

5. 5

   Shape the Rolls

   Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish.

6. 6

   Second Rise

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

7. 7

   Bake

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

8. 8

   Make the Frosting

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

9. 9

   Frost and Serve

   Once the rolls are done baking, let them cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese frosting on top. Serve warm.
