Enjoy these delightful homemade cinnamon rolls, perfect for any occasion.
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Mix the wet ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Add the yeast mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
Make sure the yeast mixture is fully incorporated for even rising.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth to prevent the dough from drying out.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
Ensure the dough is evenly rolled out for uniform rolls.
Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Spread the filling evenly to ensure consistent flavor.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 2-inch slices.
Use a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
Leave enough space between rolls for them to expand.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Check the rolls towards the end of baking to avoid overcooking.
While the rolls bake, prepare the glaze by mixing the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth glaze.
Spread the glaze over the warm rolls and serve.
Apply the glaze while the rolls are warm for a melty effect.
