Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm milk, butter, and eggs, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
- First Rise: Cover the bowl and let it rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling: Mix butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt into a smooth paste.
- Roll Out the Dough: After rising, roll it into an 18x12-inch rectangle and spread the filling evenly, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Shape the Rolls: Roll the dough tightly, pinch to seal the seam, and cut into 12 equal rolls.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls in a buttered dish, cover, and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Bake the Rolls: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 22 to 26 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare the Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth, gradually adding powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.
- Frost the Rolls: Ice warm rolls with frosting, allowing it to melt into crevices.

Notes
For best results, ensure dough rises adequately and avoid overbaking. Freezing unbaked rolls for later is an excellent option.
