Cinnamon Rolls
Serves 12
Directions
- 1Combine milk, sugar, eggs, melted butter, salt, bread flour, and yeast in a bread machine. Use the dough cycle.
- 2If not using a bread machine, mix ingredients in a mixer and let dough rise in a covered bowl until doubled.
- 3Once dough cycle is complete, punch down the dough.
- 4Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12x10 inches.
- 5Spread softened butter over the dough, reaching all edges.
- 6Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
- 7Roll up the dough and cut into 12 equal pieces using a pizza wheel or knife.
- 8Place the cinnamon roll pieces into a greased 9x13 inch pan.
- 9Optionally, cover the pan and refrigerate for up to 48 hours for make-ahead cinnamon rolls.
- 10If baking immediately, let the rolls rise for about 45 minutes.
- 11Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 16-20 minutes.
- 12While baking, prepare the frosting by creaming softened butter, then adding cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- 13Frost the warm cinnamon rolls.

Tips
- The dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 48 hours.
- For a thicker frosting, warm the baked cinnamon rolls slightly before frosting.
- Homemade brown sugar stays soft and does not require special storage.
- If butter is melted instead of softened, sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon on first.
