\n\t\t

**Dough:**<\/h4>
  • 4 1\/4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more as needed)<\/li>
  • 1 cup warm whole milk<\/li>
  • 2 1\/2 teaspoons active dry yeast<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon salt<\/li>
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)<\/li>
  • 1\/2 cup white sugar<\/li>
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)<\/li><\/ul>

    **Filling:**<\/h4>
    • 1\/2 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)<\/li>
    • 1 1\/4 cups light brown sugar<\/li>
    • 3 tablespoons cinnamon<\/li><\/ul>

      **Cream Cheese Frosting:**<\/h4>
      • 8 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)<\/li>
      • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)<\/li>
      • 2 cups powdered sugar<\/li>
      • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract<\/li>
      • 1 tablespoon heavy cream<\/li><\/ul>

        **Other:**<\/h4>

          **Equipment:**<\/h4>
          • 9 x 13 inch pan<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
            \n\t\t

            **Make the Dough:**<\/h4>
            1. In a large mixing bowl, pour the warm milk and sprinkle the yeast over it. Let it sit for 10 minutes to proof.<\/li>
            2. To the milk and yeast mixture, add the eggs, melted unsalted butter, and white sugar. Whisk until smooth.<\/li>
            3. Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients. Use a stand mixer with a hook attachment or a wooden spoon to bring the dough together. Beat for about 6 minutes until soft, smooth, and elastic. Adjust with flour or milk if needed.<\/li>
            4. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rest in a warm place until doubled in size, about an hour.<\/li><\/ol>

              **Make the Cinnamon Sugar:**<\/h4>
              1. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.<\/li><\/ol>

                **Roll the Dough:**<\/h4>
                1. Flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle about 14 inches by 24 inches.<\/li>
                2. Spread the room temperature unsalted butter evenly over the dough.<\/li>
                3. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the butter and press it down gently.<\/li>
                4. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into 1 to 1.5-inch slices to make 12 pieces. Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch pan.<\/li>
                5. Cover and let them proof again for 30 to 40 minutes.<\/li><\/ol>

                  **Bake:**<\/h4>
                  1. Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F.<\/li>
                  2. Pour the heavy cream around the cinnamon rolls in the pan.<\/li>
                  3. Bake for 21 to 22 minutes until golden brown.<\/li><\/ol>

                    **Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:**<\/h4>
                    1. While the rolls bake, beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until creamy and fluffy.<\/li>
                    2. Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Then frost and enjoy them warm!<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
