Ingredients

Servings

Dough:

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter unsalted
  • 2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 3 1/2-4 cups bread flour
  • pinch salt
  • 1 egg

Filling and Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons butter softened, unsalted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons milk or half and half

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 2 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 7 tablespoons butter softened, unsalted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and butter over medium low heat. Once butter has melted and liquid is 120 degrees F, remove from heat. Sprinkle with yeast and let sit until frothy, about 10 minutes.
  2. In the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a dough blade or a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Mix in liquid and egg until dough comes together. It will be soft and slightly sticky. On a lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic. Grease a large bowl and add dough, turning to coat. Cover and let rise until doubled, 2-3 hours.
  3. Grease a 10 inch round or 11 by 8 inch rectangular baking dish. On a lightly floured large surface, add dough and punch down. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll the dough into a rectangle, flouring as needed, until it is about 18 by 10 inches. Evenly spread the 2 tablespoons softened butter over the dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar, then cinnamon. Roll tightly, starting from the long end, to the other side. Seal the seam. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces to create rolls. Place the rolls in prepared baking dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  4. Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Brush the tops of the rolls with milk or half and half. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 25-30 minutes.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract and milk. Slowly mix in powdered sugar and salt until smooth. Spread over rolls while they are still warm.
