Instructions
-
Dissolve yeast and 1 tsp sugar in warm milk; let stand 5 minutes until frothy.
-
Combine yeast mixture, remaining sugar, softened butter, eggs, and flour in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, kneading for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
-
Roll dough out on a floured surface into a 12x18-inch rectangle, spread with softened butter, and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly.
-
Roll tightly from long side into a log, cut into 12 equal rolls using unflavored dental floss, arrange in a greased 9x13-inch pan, and let rise 30 minutes.
-
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22 to 25 minutes until golden, then spread cream cheese frosting over warm rolls.
Notes & Tips
Using unflavored dental floss to slice the dough log prevents squishing the delicate swirl layers.
