Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add melted butter, eggs, salt, and flour. Mix until a dough forms.

  2. 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, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Melt the butter and set aside.

  4. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

    After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.

  5. 5

    Add Filling

    Spread the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.

  6. 6

    Roll and Cut

    Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking pan.

  7. 7

    Second Rise

    Cover the rolls and let rise for another 30 minutes.

  8. 8

    Bake

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

  9. 9

    Make the Icing

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

  10. 10

    Ice the Rolls

    Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly, then spread the icing over the warm rolls.
