Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
2 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
4 1/2 cups AP flour

1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened

1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions:

  1. In the bowl of a Kitchen Aid mixer, combine milk and yeast. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes to proof.
  2. Mix in the sugar, butter, salt, and eggs. Add flour and mix well.
  3. With the kneading attachment, knead dough mixture about 10 minutes.
  4. Put kneaded dough into a greased bowl. Let rise in warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. On a well-floured surface, roll dough into a 16x21 inch (I didn't roll a rectangle this large. But I did forget how big my rectangle was! I'll need to edit this when I make this recipe again!) rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  6. Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
