Ingredients 

Dough

  • 4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 packet Active dry yeast
  • 1 cup Milk Warm
  • ⅓ cup Butter Melted
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Eggs Beaten

Filling

  • ½ cup Butter Softened
  • 1 cup Brown sugar Packed
  • 2 tablespoon Ground cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon Milk

Instructions 

  1. 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and yeast.
  2. 2. In a small saucepan, heat milk, butter, sugar, and salt until warm (120-130°F) and butter is almost melted.
  3. 3. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; add eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
  4. 4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes). Shape into a ball. Place in a greased bowl; turn once. Cover; let rise in a warm place until double in size (about 1 hour).
  5. 5. Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half. Cover; let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly grease two baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
  6. 6. Roll each half of dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over butter. Roll up each rectangle, starting from a long side. Seal seams. Slice each roll into 12 pieces. Place cut sides down on prepared baking sheets. Cover; let rise until nearly double in size (about 30 minutes).
  7. 7. Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly.
  8. 8. For glaze, in a small bowl combine powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to reach drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm rolls.
