Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

1 cup milk, warm
2 eggs
1/3 cup butter, unsalted
4 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cups sugar
2 1/2 tsp yeast (one packet should suffice)

1 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 tbs cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, unsalted

3 oz cream cheese
1 1/2 cups confectioner sugar
1/4 cup butter, unsalted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp Kosher salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Take 1 cup of the milk and heat it to 100°F. Dissolve the yeast in the milk and make sure it is well-combined and no clumps remain(should be bubbling after a few minutes).
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, butter and eggs. After the dough forms, remove and knead by hand. Knead for a few minutes and then place the dough into a bowl with a few drops of oil. Cover the dough with the oil and then cover to let the dough rise. Allow it to double in size.
3. About an hour later remove and roll out into a square sheet and let it rest for 10 minutes. During this time, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together to form what will become the gooey cinnamon stuff.
4. Coat the dough square with an even layer of butter and sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture over the entire square. Roll up the dough and seal with some water. At this point you can place in the fridge overnight for a second rise (makes for a more flaky roll).
5. Cut the roll into 1/2 inch pieces and place in a pan. If you did not already allow it to undergo a second rise, leave these pieces in the pan for about 30 minutes.
6. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 13-16 minutes. During this time, prepare the cream cheese frosting.
7. Beat together the cream cheese, confectioner sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt until a good consistency is reached.
8. Once the rolls have completed baking, let cool for 2 minutes before spreading the frosting on and enjoy!
