Ingredients
  

  • For the dough:
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup whole milk warmed to 110°F
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • For the filling:
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • For the cream cheese frosting:
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk as needed

Method
 

  1. Combine warm milk and yeast in a large bowl; stand 5 minutes until foamy. Whisk in melted butter, eggs, sugar, and salt.
  2. Gradually mix in flour into soft dough; knead on a floured surface 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl; cover and rise in a warm spot 1 hour until doubled.
  3. Punch down; roll into an 18x12-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread softened butter evenly; sprinkle with mixed brown sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Roll tightly from long side; cut into 12 equal pieces in a greased 9x13-inch dish. Cover; rise 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F; bake 22-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  6. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy; beat in powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth and spreadable.
  7. Cool rolls 5 minutes; frost generously while warm and serve immediately.
