Cooking Instructions!
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Warm the milk and butter in a small saucepan until butter is melted. Let it cool slightly and add to the flour mixture.
Add eggs to the bowl and mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar for the filling.
Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 16x12-inch (40x30cm) rectangle.
Spread softened butter over the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch (1cm) border.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long side. Pinch the edges to seal.
Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9x13-inch (23x33cm) baking dish.
Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls.
Serve and enjoy the fluffy cinnamon rolls while they are still warm!
