Instructions
 

Make the Dough

  • In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  • Add melted butter, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until combined.
  • Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Assemble Cinnamon Rolls

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12x15-inch rectangle.
  • Spread softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Roll up the dough tightly. Cut into 12 equal rolls.
  • Place rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Bake and Frost

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • While rolls are baking, make the frosting by beating cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  • Let rolls cool slightly before frosting.
  • Spread frosting generously over warm rolls. Serve immediately.
