For the dough:
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 package) instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 egg
For the filling:
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
For the frosting:
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 cups powdered sugar
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat milk until it bubbles. Remove from heat and mix in butter until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cup of the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine. Add water, egg, vanilla, and milk mixture and beat with an electric mixer.
  4. Add remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, using a wooden spoon to stir well after each addition.
  5. When dough pulls together, turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Dough will spring back when lightly pressed.
  6. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest on counter 10 minutes.
  7. Roll dough out into a 9x12 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread butter over the dough, then stir together cinnamon and brown sugar and sprinkle evenly over the top.
  8. Starting with a long edge, roll dough up in a tight spiral and pinch seam to seal. Using a serrated knife, cut into 12 rolls.
  9. Place rolls in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  10. Bake in preheated oven until golden, 17-20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before frosting.
  11. While rolls cool, beat together the 2 tablespoons butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and beat until creamy but spreadable.
  12. Spread over rolls and serve. Enjoy!
