Ingredients
DOUGH:
- 4 cups flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup milk
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs, room temperature
FILLING:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
ICING:
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour and yeast. Set aside.
-
In a saucepan, heat the milk, ⅓ cup butter, sugar, and salt until 120 degrees F. Remove from heat and stir until the butter is melted. Add to the flour and yeast.
-
Mix on low, using a regular paddle, adding the eggs one at a time.
-
Change the mixer attachment to the dough hook. Beat the dough at low, adding the remaining flour a little at a time. Increase speed to medium until a soft dough forms, approximately 3 minutes.
-
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat both sides. Cover with a clean dish towel.
-
Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 ½ hours.
-
Punch the dough down and turn out onto a floured surface. Cover and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Combine the filling ingredients until sandy.
-
Roll the dough into a rectangle, approximately 20 inches by 10 inches. Sprinkle with the filling mixture, leaving a 1-inch space on one long edge without filling.
-
Starting on the long side, roll the dough up, working it tightly but without pulling the dough too much. Seal the long edge by pinching it shut.
-
Cut the dough into 12 even slices by cutting the dough in half, cutting those halves in half and then the quarters into three slices each.
-
Place each roll in a large bar pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, allowing about one inch between them. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place about 40 minutes or until doubled.
-
TIP: Before allowing the final rise, rolls may be tightly covered and placed in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and allow to rise before baking.
-
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
-
While the rolls bake, combine the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla, stirring until well blended. Stir in the powdered sugar and then add the milk a little at a time until reaching the desired consistency.
-
Remove rolls from the oven and spread with icing.
