Instructions
1
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2
To the yeast mixture, add in the sugar, melted margarine, salt, lightly beaten eggs, and 2 cups of flour. Mix well until combined.
3
Gradually add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, stirring until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a large ball.
5
Place the dough ball in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
6
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a light floured surface to about 21 inches long and 16 inches wide.
7
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
8
In a separate bowl, combine the filling ingredients: brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened margarine. Mix until well blended, then spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
9
Starting from the longer side, carefully roll the dough up tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the roll into 12 equal pieces.
10
Place the cinnamon rolls cut-side up in a lightly greased baking pan, making sure to space them evenly.
11
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly browned on top.
12
While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by combining the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
13
Remove the rolls from the oven and drizzle the icing over the warm rolls while they are still slightly warm for the best melt-in-your-mouth experience. Serve immediately and enjoy!
