Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup active dry yeast (2 packets)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare the dough: Warm the milk until lukewarm. In a large bowl, mix half of the flour with sugar and yeast. Add warm milk and stir until combined. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
  2. 2. Mix it up: Add softened butter, remaining flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Knead on a floured surface until smooth for about 5 minutes.
  3. 3. Let it rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled (about 1 hour).
  4. 4. Roll it out: Punch down the dough and roll into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
  5. 5. Fill it up: Spread butter on the dough; sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar evenly across.
  6. 6. Shape your rolls: Roll tightly from one edge and slice into pieces (about 2 inches thick). Place cut side up in a greased baking dish.
  7. 7. Final rise: Let rise again for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. 8. Bake: Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Drizzle with cream cheese frosting before serving.
