Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 1 cup warm milk
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 4 cups all-purpose flour

For the Filling:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

For the Dough:

Step 1: In a bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

Step 2: Add sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs to the yeast mixture. Mix well.

Step 3: Gradually add flour and knead until a soft dough forms. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).

For the Filling:

Step 4: Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle.

Step 5: Spread softened butter over the dough and sprinkle with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon.

Step 6: Roll the dough tightly from the long side, then cut into individual rolls.

Step 7: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 8: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

Step 9: While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by beating together cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 10: Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, spread the cream cheese glaze over them while they are still warm.
