2.25 Teaspoons teaspoons active dry yeast (for dough)
.5 Cups granulated sugar (for dough)
6 Tablespoons nsalted butter, softened (for dough)
2 eggs (for dough)
1 Teaspoons salt (for dough)
4 Cups all-purpose flour (for dough, use up to 4.5 cups)
.5 Cups unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
1 Cups cup brown sugar, packed (for filling)
2.5 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
4 Ounces cream cheese, softened (for cream cheese frosting)
.25 Cups unsalted butter, softened (for cream cheese frosting)
1.5 Cups powdered sugar (for cream cheese frosting)
.5 Teaspoons vanilla extract (for cream cheese frosting)
1 Pinches salt (for cream cheese frosting)
Instructions:
1. Make the Dough:
In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining sugar, butter, eggs, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Filling:
Mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl until it forms a spreadable paste.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 16x12 inches).
Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the dough.
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal slices.
Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
4. Bake the Rolls:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Make the Frosting:
Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt, and mix until creamy.
6. Frost and Serve:
Spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls. Serve immediately and enjoy!
