Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Nothing says comfort food more than a pan of warm homemade cinnamon rolls. ✨

For the dough :

• 2 ¼ teaspoons

• 1 cup milk

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 4 cups all-purpose flour plus up to ½ cup more as needed

• 6 tablespoons butter diced and softened

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 2 large eggs

For filling :

• 1 stick butter softened

• ½ cup brown sugar packed

• ½ cup white sugar

• 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the icing:

• ¾ cup cream cheese

• 1 cup icing sugar

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• pinch salt

To prepare :

•Warm milk up for about 30sec in microwave

• Place yeast in small bowl with 1 tablespoon warm milk and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. Stir, then let sit for 5 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface.

•Place flour, butter, salt, eggs, yeast mixture, remaining milk and sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer. Stir a little to roughly combine.

• Knead dough on medium speed until a ball forms. Kneading can take around 10-12 minutes, so be patient.

• Turn dough out into a greased bowl. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

• Roll dough into rectangle, about 18×12 inches. Dough should be around ¼ inch thick.

• Spread 1 stick softened butter over dough. Combine both sugars and the cinnamon for the filling in a small bowl. Evenly sprinkle over butter.

• Roll up into a log from the longer side and pinch the seam to seal. Place log seam-side down. Slice into 12 rolls.

• Place rolls into a greased pan then cover with the tea towel and let sit until puffy and almost doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

• Preheat oven to 350. Bake risen rolls in the hot oven until lightly golden brown. This takes around 18 minutes.

• Place ingredients for the frosting in a medium mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth.
