Instructions
DOUGH
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together milk, eggs, granulated sugar, and butter using the whisk attachment. Switch to the dough hook.
- Add bread flour, instant yeast, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix on low until the dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 5 minutes, then let it rest for 10 minutes. Knead again for another 5 minutes. If the dough is too wet, add some of the remaining flour.
RISE
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
FILLING
- Prepare the filling by mixing nearly melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Roll out the risen dough into an 18-inch rectangle and spread the cinnamon sugar mixture over it.
- Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 12 pieces. Place in a greased 9x13 pan.
RISE
- Let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
BAKE
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Bake the rolls for 24-30 minutes or until they reach 190° Fahrenheit.
FROSTING
- While baking, prepare the frosting by mixing cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar.
- Let the rolls cool for 10 minutes, then spread the frosting and serve.
