Ingredients:
For the Dough:
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
For the Filling:
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix melted butter, salt, eggs, and the activated yeast mixture. Gradually add flour, kneading until a soft dough forms. Allow it to rise in a greased bowl, covered, for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
3. Roll and Fill: Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
4. Shape the Rolls: Roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 12 even rolls. Place them in a greased baking dish.
5. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
6. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: While the rolls are baking, beat together softened butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
8. Frost and Enjoy: Once the rolls are out of the oven, generously spread the cream cheese frosting over them. Let it melt into the warm rolls.
9. Serve Warm: Enjoy these homemade cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven. Share with loved ones for an extra touch of sweetness.
