Nothing says Sunday morning like a warm, gooey batch of homemade cinnamon rolls. Finish them with a generous topping of frosting, and be prepared to lick brown sugar off your fingers for the rest of the afternoon.

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!
