Instructions

1. Add 1 cup warm milk, 2 eggs, 1/3 cup melted butter, 4 1/2 cups bread flour, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 cup white sugar, and 2 1/2 tsp. yeast to the pan of your bread machine. Some machines require you place dry ingredients first, so follow the order outlined in the machine's instruction manual.

2. Select dough cycle and press start.

3. Once the cycle completes, the dough should have doubled in size. Turn out the dough onto a well-floured surface. Cover the dough with a towel and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.

4. While the dough rests, mix 1 cup of brown sugar and 2 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon in a small bowl.

5. Roll dough into a rectangle, approximately 15 inches by 24 inches.

6. Carefully spread 1/3 cup of softened butter over the dough rectangle.

7. Sprinkle the dough with brown sugar mixture.

8. Roll the dough lengthwise and slice at 2-inch intervals (approximately 12 pieces).

9. Place the rolls in a greased cake pan and cover with a hot, wet tea towel in a warm spot. Allow the rolls to rise for about a half hour, or until they have doubled in size.

10. Preheat oven the oven 350 degrees F.

11. Place the rolls in the oven and bake about 18 to 25 minutes until golden brown.

12. While the rolls are baking, make your icing. Using a hand mixer, beat together 3 oz. of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of softened butter, 1 1/2 cups of icing/powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract and 1/8 tsp. of salt.

13. Check your rolls halfway through cooking. If they appear to be browning too quickly, cover them with foil for the remainder of the cooking time.

14. Remove the cinnamon rolls from oven. Carefully flip the rolls over, so that they will be well-coated with the cinnamon/butter/sugary filling. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.

15. Spread icing mixture on rolls and serve warm.
