Ingredients

Sweet Dough

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 pkg dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup warm water
  • 3 eggs (room temperature)
  • 6 1/2 cups flour

Cinnamon Filling

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon

Cream Cheese Icing

  • 1 8 oz pkg cream cheese (softened)
  • 6 tbsp butter (softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla


Instructions

Sweet Yeast Dough

  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, stir milk, sugar, salt, and butter until the butter and sugar dissolve. Cool to lukewarm.
  2. In the mixing bowl of your stand mixer, dissolve yeast in 1/3 cup warm water. Add milk mixture, eggs, and 5 cups of flour. Beat with a dough hook on speed 2 for 3 minutes.
  3. Continuing mixing at speed 2, as you add the rest of the flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Stop mixing when the dough clings to the hook and cleans the sides of the bowl. Lastly, knead on speed 2 for 5 more minutes.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until it’s doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  5. After 1 hour, punch the dough down and roll into a 10 x 30 x 1 inch rectangle on a floured surface.

Cinnamon Filling

  1. Place brown sugar, sugar, butter, flour and cinnamon in a mixer bowl. Mix with a flat beater on speed 2 for 1 minute.
  2. Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly from long side to form a 30 inch roll, pinching seams together. Cut into 18 1 1/2 inch slices.
  3. Place rolls in a greased cake pans, cover and let rise in a warm space for 1 hour.
  4. Bake at 350ºF for about 20 minutes.

Cream Cheese Icing

  1. In a stand mixing bowl, mix cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until it’s completely combined.
  2. Once the rolls have cooled for 5 minutes, smear the icing over the top.
