- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 block softened cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons softened butter

## Instructions

1. To bloom the yeast, combine active dry yeast, sugar, and warm water in a bowl and stir. Let it sit for a couple of minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, add all-purpose flour, salt, canola oil, and two large eggs. Mix well using a stand mixer.
3. Add the bloomed yeast and a cup of warm milk (between 95 and 110 degrees) to the mixture in the stand mixer. Let it mix for about 5 minutes.
4. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and let it sit for 90 minutes (an hour and a half).
5. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by combining softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
6. Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a 12x18 inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Spread the filling evenly over the rolled-out dough.
8. Roll the dough up tightly into a log.
9. Cut the roll into 1 and 1/2 inch thick slices.
10. Grease a baking pan with butter and place the cinnamon roll slices in it. Let them proof for about another 30 minutes.
11. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
12. Bake the cinnamon rolls in the oven for about 35 to 40 minutes.
13. While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by combining softened cream cheese, softened butter, vanilla, milk, and powdered sugar in a stand mixer.
14. Once baked, let the rolls cool for about 10 minutes before spreading the icing on top.
