Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast, letting it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and eggs. Stir in the yeast mixture and vanilla extract until well mixed.

3. 3

   Gradually add in 3 cups of flour and salt. Mix until the dough comes together. Add additional flour as needed until you form a soft dough.

4. 4

   Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball.

5. 5

   Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

6. 6

   In a separate bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon to create a spreadable filling.

7. 7

   After rising, punch down the dough and place it on a floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 16x24 inches.

8. 8

   Evenly spread the cinnamon filling over the rolled dough, leaving a little edge around the perimeter for easier rolling.

9. 9

   Tightly roll the dough into a log, then slice into 12 equally-sized rolls. Place them into a greased baking dish.

10. 10

    Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.

11. 11

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

12. 12

    While rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

13. 13

    Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the icing over them while they are still warm.
