Ingredients:
- 4 cups (480g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, warmed
- 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon (8g) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened

- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons (15-30ml) milk, as needed
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.
- Whisk in sugar, salt, melted butter, and eggs.
- Gradually add flour, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Punch down risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 14x18 inches).
- Spread softened butter over the dough, sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture evenly, and roll tightly from the long side.
- Cut into 12 equal pieces and place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to reach desired consistency.
- Drizzle frosting over warm rolls and serve immediately.
