Instructions:
Step 1/20
Generously butter two disposable foil pie/cake pans.
Step 2/20
In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (37-43˚C). If it is hotter, allow to cool slightly.
Step 3/20
Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let set for 1 minute.
Step 4/20
Add 4 cups (500g) of all-purpose flour to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
Step 5/20
Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
Step 6/20
After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size.
Step 7/20
Remove the towel and add an additional ¾ cup (95g) of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
Step 8/20
Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
Step 9/20
Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½-inch (1 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
Step 10/20
Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
Step 11/20
Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and a generous sprinkling of cinnamon.
Step 12/20
Press the mixture into the butter.
Step 13/20
Roll up the dough, forming a log, and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down. Trim off any unevenness on either end.
Step 14/20
Cut the log in half, then divide each half into 7 evenly sized pieces. About 1½ inches (8cm) thick each.
Step 15/20
Place 7 cinnamon rolls in each cake pan, one in the center, six around the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
Step 16/20
Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
Step 17/20
To prepare the frosting. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together cream cheese, butter, whole milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar, until smooth.
Step 18/20
Remove plastic wrap. Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 19/20
While still warm, drizzle evenly with frosting.
Step 20/20
Enjoy!
