**Ingredients:**
– For the Dough:
– 1 cup warm milk
– 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– For the Filling:
– 1 cup brown sugar, packed
– 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
– For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
– 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
**Instructions:**
1. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture is frothy.
2. In a separate large mixing bowl, mix together the sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir until well combined.
3. Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring between each addition until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by combining the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a 16×21-inch rectangle.
7. Spread the softened butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
8. Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
9. Place the rolls on a greased baking dish, cover with a kitchen towel, and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
10. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
11. While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
12. Once the rolls have cooled slightly, drizzle the frosting over them generously.
13. Serve the Copy Cat Cinnabon rolls warm and enjoy the irresistible sweetness and fluffiness straight from your oven.
