Ingredients:

• 1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 4 1/2 cups bread flour
• 1 teas salt
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 pkg yeast (1/4 ounce)

For the Filling:

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

For the Icing:

• 3 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 teas vanilla extract
• 1/8 teas salt

Preparation:

Dissolve yeast in warm milk in a large bowl. Add sugar, butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Mix well. Knead dough into a large ball, using your hands dusted lightly with flour. Put in a bowl and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size.

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.

Spray work  surface with cooking spray or sprinkle flour on it. Roll dough into a 16×21 inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture.

Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls (or more smaller rolls). Place rolls in a lightly greased 9×13 inch glass baking dish. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. 

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 18-20 minutes.

While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on while they are still warm so that the frosting melts into the roll.
