Soft Glazed Cinnamon Rolls

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a stand mixer bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Add eggs, softened butter, salt, and half the flour. Mix with dough hook, gradually adding remaining flour until a soft, elastic dough forms. Knead for 7 minutes.
3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour until doubled in size.
4. Roll dough out on a floured surface into a 30x45 cm rectangle.
5. Spread softened butter evenly across dough. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle generously over butter.
6. Tightly roll dough from the long edge into a log. Cut into 12 equal slices using unflavored dental floss or a sharp knife.
7. Arrange rolls in a greased 23x33 cm baking pan. Cover and let rise 30 minutes.
8. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until light golden brown.
9. Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Spread generously over warm rolls.
