Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup warm milk 110 degrees F/45 degrees C
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 4 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Filling
- 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1/3 cup butter softened
Frosting
- 3 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Make the dough
- Combine milk and sugar in a bowl, and put in microwave until the temp is reached (it’s supposed to be lukewarm - 114 degrees).
- Sprinkle yeast over the surface, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- (Tiny bubbles should begin to appear on the surface or around the edge of the container and it should start to smell yeasty).
- Add the yeast mixture to the bowl of your stand mixer with the dough hook attached.
- Add the flour, salt, eggs and butter and knead the dough for 8-10 minutes. It should form a ball and be relatively smooth.
First Rise
- Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel.
- Let sit in a warm place, until doubled in size (about an hour).
- Punch down, and turn out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes while you make the filling
- Make the filling
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
Assemble
- Roll dough into a 16×21-inch rectangle.
- Spread dough with butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture.
- Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. I use (plain, unflavored) dental floss to do this.
- Place a piece of dental floss under the rolled dough, 1 inch from the end. Bring the floss up around the dough and cross it over the top, cutting through the dough and filling. Repeat at 1-inch intervals.
- Place rolls in a lightly greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
Second Rise
- Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. While the rolls are rising, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake
- Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Frost
- While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt and milk.
- Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
