Yielding 12 rich and decadent rolls, theyβre ideal for weekend mornings, holiday gatherings, or anytime you crave comforting sweetness.
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir lightly and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter. Add the milk and yeast mixture, mixing until combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use the dough hook attachment of a stand mixer for 5 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a 16x12-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
Starting with the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it, then cut the log into 12 even slices (about 1 inch thick each).
Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with a towel and let rise again in a warm spot for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
While the rolls bake, prepare the frosting by beating the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and whole milk in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes before spreading the frosting generously over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Cinnabon cinnamon rolls!
