Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar, sprinkle yeast over the top, and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Make Dough

In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until a dough forms.

Knead Dough

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Prepare Filling

In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Melt the cup of butter and set aside.

Roll Out Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 16x24 inches).

Add Filling

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

Cut Rolls

Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12-15 equal pieces.

Second Rise

Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake Rolls

Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Make Icing

In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

Ice Rolls

Once the rolls are cool, spread the cream cheese icing over the top before serving.
