Ingredients

For the dough:

4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast

1 tsp salt

1 cup milk, warmed (about 110°F)

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

For the cinnamon filling:

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 tbsp ground cinnamon

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

For the cream cheese frosting:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2-3 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Mixing dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Combining wet and dry ingredients: Add the melted butter and eggs to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Kneading the dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes or until smooth and elastic.

First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Spread the softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Filling the rolls: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log shape.

Cutting the rolls: Using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss, cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.

Second rise: Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes.

Baking the rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Make the frosting: While the rolls bake, prepare the cream cheese frosting by combining cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Frost the rolls: Once the cinnamon rolls are baked and slightly cooled, generously spread the cream cheese frosting over them.

Serve and enjoy: Warm, gooey, and filled with delicious cinnamon goodness, these Cinnamon Rolls are perfect for breakfast or a delightful treat any time of day!
