Ingredients
  

Rolls
  • 1 Tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup milk, lukewarm
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
Filling
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons cinnamon
Frosting
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • pinch salt
  • 2 Tablespoons milk

Method
 

  1. Mix yeast, sugar, eggs, milk, butter and salt together in a large bowl, all at once.
  2. Add 4 cups of all-purpose flour. Mix well with a spoon, cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise 4-6 hours on counter or overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Do not knead the dough.
  4. Roll out dough into a long, thin rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  5. Spread on softened butter.
  6. Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon, and spread evenly over the dough.
  7. Tightly roll into a jellyroll shape, starting at the long end of the dough.
  8. Use a string or floss to cut dough into 1-inch pieces and place into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan (I placed 15 rolls in a 9×13-inch pan so the rolls were touching).
  9. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. In a bowl, mix together frosting ingredients and spread over baked rolls.
