Ingredients

  • •1 cup whole milk, warmed
  • •2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • •1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • •1/2 teaspoon salt
  • •4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • •1 large egg
  • •3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • •1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • •2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • •3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • •4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • •1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Directions

  1. 1Mix warm milk, yeast, granulated sugar, salt, melted butter, and egg in a large bowl. Gradually add flour and knead until smooth dough forms.
  2. 2Let dough rise in an oiled bowl for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  3. 3Roll dough into a 16x12 inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over dough and sprinkle with cinnamon-brown sugar mixture.
  4. 4Roll up tightly from the long side and cut into 12 rolls. Place in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan and let rise 30 minutes.
  5. 5Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  6. 6Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth, then spread frosting over warm rolls.

💡 Stop adding flour when the dough feels soft and slightly tacky; a stiff dough produces dense cinnamon rolls.
