Homemade Cinnamon Rolls (Soft & Delicious!)

I have been searching for the perfect cinnamon rolls for years.  Basically, I’ve been aiming for a recipe that was close to the ones we were served when I was in school.  While most people think school food is terrible, our school actually had some pretty great menus.  The cooks came in super early and made almost everything by hand, from scratch.  That included these amazing cinnamon rolls that they would serve whenever chili was on the menu. 

Ingredients

Dough:

1 cup warm (not hot) milk

1 tablespoon instant yeast

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons butter, soft

2 small eggs

3 cups flour

Filling:

¼ cup butter, melted

1 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons cinnamon

Glaze:

4 to 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

¼ cup butter

1½ cups powder sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla

2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

1.Using a dough hook in a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, and egg on low.

2. Slowly add in flour.

3. Once the flour is incorporated, turn mixer to medium speed.

4. Add more flour if necessary. The dough should be soft and sticky but pull away from the side of bowl.

5. Transfer dough to a large lightly greased mixing bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

6. Grease a 9x13 baking pan.

7. Roll dough out to a 12x18 inch rectangle.

8. Brush the dough with the ¼ cup melted butter from the filling.

9. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.

10. Sprinkle mixture over buttered dough.

11. Roll up tightly lengthwise to make one long roll.

12. Use thread to cut dough into 12 (one inch) slices.
