Tips
1. Bake till they have a kiss of brown on top
Recipe
1. In a bowl combine warm milk and yeast and let it stay for five minutes
2. Add sugar, salt, butter, and eggs in the mixing bowl and add the yeast mixture into this.
3. Add in the flour. Using a dough hook, turn the mixer on to a low speed.Once the flour starts to incorporate into the dough, increase the speed to a medium range. Add more flour as necessary so that the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough mixture should be tacky, but not stick to your hands. It should be soft.
4. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl.Cover with a towel and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
5. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Punch down the dough and roll into a 12 x 18 inch rectangle.Brush the dough with 1/2 cup melted butter.
6. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of the melted butter.
7. Roll up tightly lengthwise so you have one long roll. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 12 one-inch slices.Place the slices onto a lightly 9×13 pan.
8. Cover and let rise 30 to 45 minutes.
9. Preheat oven to 162 degrees.
10. Bake the rolls for about 14 minutes, until just kissed with brown on top.
11. While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the cream cheese glaze by using a hand mixer to whip together cream cheese and butter in a bowl until light and fluffy.
12. Whip in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
13. Add enough milk to achieve a drizzle-like consistency.
14. Frost the rolls while still warm. Serve immediately or cool and store. Stays good for 4 to 5 days.
