INSTRUCTIONS
list of 7 items
1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, until frothy. Add the eggs and melted butter, mixing
well. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1 ? hours, or until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it into a 16¡Á12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread the softened butter
evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top, pressing it gently into the butter.
4. Shape the Rolls: Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9¡Á13-inch baking
dish. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes.
5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350¡ãF (175¡ãC). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
6. Make the Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt, mixing until creamy.
7. Frost the Rolls: Spread the frosting generously over the warm cinnamon rolls. Serve immediately for gooey, melt-in-your-mouth perfection.
