Instructions

Making cinnamon rolls is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, a teaspoon of sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture until combined.

4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.

5. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.

6. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

7. Prepare Filling: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.

8. Roll the Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle (about ¼ inch thick).

9. Spread Softened Butter: Evenly spread the softened butter over the rolled dough.

10. Add Filling: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered dough.

11. Roll Up the Dough: Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log.

12. Cut Rolls: Slice the log into 12-15 equal pieces.

13. Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.

14. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

15. Bake: Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

16. Cool: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.

17. Make Icing: In a bowl, blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

18. Frost the Rolls: Drizzle the icing over the warm rolls.
