Copycat Cinnamon Rolls



Roll:

1 cup warm milk
2 1/4 t. yeast
1/3 cup salted butter (melted and cooled)
1/2 cup sugar
2 room temperature eggs
1 t. salt
4 cups bread flour

Mix milk, yeast, butter and sugar until combined.  Add eggs and break up, add salt and flour.  The mixture will look crumbly.  Let sit for 5 minutes.  Then knead for 5 minutes with dough hook. Dough should be stretchy and soft.  Spray a bowl with oil and let dough rise in it until doubled.

Filling:

1/2 cup soft butter
2 T. cinnamon
1 cup packed brown sugar

Mix until it's almost a paste

Frosting:

1 stick of butter
3 oz. cream cheese
1 t. vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar

After dough has risen roll out into large rectangle.  Spread filling to edges and tightly roll up and cut into 12 rolls. Place in 9 x 13 buttered pan.  Let rise.

Pour 1/2 cup heavy cream over the rolls and bake at 375 for 25 minutes.  Frost when rolls are still warm.
