Instructions
Cinnamon Rolls:
-
In a small saucepan heat the milk and butter to 110 degrees F (warm to touch).
-
Into the stand mixer add the yeast and milk and whisk and let sit for 1 minute. Add 6 cups of the flour, sugar, salt, and eggs. Cover with a clean dish towel.
-
Attach the dough hook and turn the mixer on speed 3 to 4 (low to medium).
-
Let it go for 5 to 7 minutes, for the dough to become a ball that doesn’t stick to the walls of the bowl. If the dough is sticking add flour ¼ cup at a time until it pulls away (no more than another cup)
-
Take the dough out, grease the stand mixer bowl, and put it back in.
-
Cover the dough with a dish towel used to keep the flour in the stand mixer. Let sit for 10 minutes while setting the oven to preheat to 350 degrees F and making the filling.
-
In a medium-sized bowl mix the sugar and cinnamon.
-
Using a large even surface, add ½ cup of flour and roll it out onto the surface to coat the rolling pin and the surface. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle about a ½ inch thick.
-
Spread the butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar over the butter.
-
Roll the dough tightly to form a long log and using a piece of thread slice off pieces. The dough will make 18 large cinnamon rolls.
-
Place the rolls into buttered baking pans or jelly rolls, then place into a warm place for 20 minutes.
Cream Cheese Icing:
-
In a stand mixer whisk all the ingredients together.
To Finish the Cinnamon Rolls:
-
Bake the rolls for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Spread the cream cheese frosting over the rolls and serve warm or at room temperature.
