Ingredients:
– 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
– 1 cup warm milk
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tsp salt
– 2 eggs
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
For the Filling:
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup packed brown sugar
– 2 ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
For the Creamy Glaze:
– 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
– 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
– 3 tbsp milk
– ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it’s frothy.
2. Add sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour to the yeast mixture. Stir everything together until a soft dough forms.
3. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to make the filling.
5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 16×21-inch rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
6. Starting with the long side, tightly roll up the dough and pinch the seam together. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces.
7. Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet and place the cinnamon roll slices in the skillet. Cover it with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for an additional 30 minutes.
8. Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown.
9. While the rolls are baking, prepare the creamy glaze by mixing powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
10. Once the cinnamon rolls are baked, drizzle the creamy glaze over the warm rolls and enjoy them fresh out of the oven for the best flavor.
