Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking Dish
  • Sharp knife or dental floss
  • measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast; let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Add melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and salt. Gradually mix in flour until sticky dough forms.
  2. Knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour.
  3. Roll out dough into a rectangle (½ inch thick). Spread melted butter over the surface, sprinkle cinnamon-brown sugar mixture evenly, then roll tightly.
  4. Cut into twelve pieces using dental floss or a sharp knife. Place cut-side up in a greased baking dish and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before frosting with cream cheese icing.
