Ingredients

• Dough: 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp.) instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 egg, room temperature
• Cinnamon Sugar Filling: 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
• 2/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• Cream Cheese Frosting: 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 2 – 3 Tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Method

1. Mix 2 cups of the flour with the granulated sugar, yeast and salt in a large bowl.
2. Warm the milk and butter together until the butter is mostly melted and the mixture is warm, not hot. Add to the flour mixture with the egg.
3. Beat until combined, about 2 minutes, then add the remaining flour a little at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
4. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. Place in an oiled bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled.
6. Stir the brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt together for the filling.
7. Roll the dough into an 18 x 12-inch rectangle. Spread with the room-temperature butter and sprinkle the filling over, pressing it in.
8. Roll up tightly from the long side and pinch the seam to seal. Cut into 12 even rolls.
9. Place in a parchment-lined 9 x 13-inch pan, cover and leave to rise for 1 hour, until puffy.
10. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, until golden brown.
11. Beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and a pinch of salt together until light and fluffy and spread over the warm rolls.
