Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 cups of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of active dry yeast until evenly mixed.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk and ½ cup of butter over low heat until warm, about 110°F (43°C).
- Pour the warm milk and butter mixture into the bowl with your dry ingredients. Add 2 large eggs, and stir everything together until a dough begins to form.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5–7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place your kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangular shape, around ¼ inch thick.
- Melt another ½ cup of butter and spread it evenly over the surface of the dough.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of packed brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon evenly over the buttered dough.
- Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough up tightly into a log shape and cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the cut rolls into a greased baking pan and let them rise again in a warm area for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
- In a bowl, mix together ½ cup of cream cheese and ½ cup of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy for frosting.
- Spread the creamy frosting generously over the warm rolls once they have cooled slightly.

Notes
Ensure the yeast is activated properly and do not rush the rising times for best results.
