Ingredients

• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Dissolve yeast in warm milk in a small bowl and let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. Combine granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in flour and mix. Pour in the yeast mixture and blend to form a soft dough.
3. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth, about 5 to 8 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
4. Roll the dough into a large rectangle approximately 1/2-inch thick. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle generously over the buttered dough.
5. Tightly roll the dough starting from the long edge and seal the seam. Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces and arrange them in a greased baking pan, leaving space for expansion. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls until they turn golden brown, about 25 minutes.
7. Prepare the icing by mixing cream cheese, softened butter, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread the icing over the warm rolls as soon as they come out of the oven.
