Imagine waking up on a cozy Sunday morning to the heavenly scent of homemade cinnamon rolls baking in the oven. These soft and fluffy rolls, filled with a delicious buttery cinnamon blend, are beautifully glazed with a tangy cream cheese icing. Perfect for impressing guests or indulging in a comforting treat, these cinnamon rolls are worth every sublime, sticky bite.
In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until it feels warm to the touch. Do not let it boil.
In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar with the yeast and warm milk. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes or until it becomes frothy.
Add the melted butter, eggs, and remaining sugar to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined.
Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
For the filling, mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the risen dough into a rectangle and spread softened butter over it. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting with the longer side, roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 even rolls.
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the rolls bake, prepare the icing by beating together softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until creamy.
Once the rolls are done, allow them to cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese icing generously over each roll.
Serve warm and enjoy your delightful cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing!
