Ingredients

Dough

Filling

Icing

Directions

Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine sugar, butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Mix well.
Pour the milk/yeast mixture into the bowl and stir gently to combine. If using a stand mixer you will want to use the dough hook. Mix well until well incorporated.
Place dough into an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
Roll the dough out onto a floured surface or silicon mat, until it’s approx. 16 inches long by 12 inches wide and about ¼ inch thick.
To make the filling, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
Spread the softened butter onto the rolled-out dough with a pastry brush. Then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
Carefully starting from the long edge, roll the dough down to the bottom edge and crimp to seal. Using a pastry cutter, cut the roll into 1 ½ inch slices.
Place the rolls cut-side down into a greased baking dish (one 13×9 inch pan or two 10" round pans). Cover and let rise again for another 30 minutes until they double in size.
While the rolls are proofing, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, mix all icing ingredients together with an electric mixer until fluffy.
When the rolls are done and still warm, spread icing generously over each roll.
