Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, warm the milk and add the yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Mix the milk mixture into the dry ingredients along with the melted butter and eggs. Knead until smooth, then cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

2. 2

   Prepare the Filling

   In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

3. 3

   Roll 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 softened butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.

4. 4

   Form the Rolls

   Starting from the long edge, roll 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 again for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

6. 6

   Bake

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

7. 7

   Make the Icing

   In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread over warm rolls before serving.
