INGREDIENTS FOR DOUGH:

-2 1/4 teaspoon of active dry yeast

-1 cup of warm milk

-1/2 granulated sugar

-1/3 room temp. butter (I used canola oil since I didn't have any butter on hand)

-1 teaspoon of salt

-2 room temp. eggs

-4 cups of all purpose flour

INGREDIENTS FOR FILLING:

-1 cup of packed brown sugar

-3 tablespoons of cinnamon

-1/3 cup room temp. butter (again, I used canola oil)

INGREDIENTS FOR FROSTING:

-6 tablespoons of room temp. butter

-1 1/2 cup of powdered sugar

-1/4 cup of cream cheese

-1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

-small pinch of salt

DIRECTIONS:

-For the dough, add your active dry yeast to 1 cup of warm milk. Let that sit for a few minutes

-Add sugar, salt, and butter to a stand mixer and cream together

-Add in eggs and four and mix until well incorporated

-Before adding in milk mixture, remove paddle from stand mixer and add the hook attachment. Add in milk mixture until well incorporated

-Add a small amount oil on sides of the bowl, and cover with plastic wrap and put that in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size (about an hour)

-While dough is rising, let's make the filling! Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter until well mixed and combined

-When dough has finished rising, put the dough on a lightly floured surface and begin to roll out the dough. It should be long enough, and not too thick

-Take your filling and evenly spread it

-Slowly lift up from the long edge, and roll the dough down to the other side. Cut about 1 1/2 inch slices

-Take a good sized pan, mine was 13"x9"x2" and spray with non-stick spray

- Place your buns in the pan and cover with a kitchen towel for about half an hour

-Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

-Remove the kitchen towel, and once the oven is pre-heated, put the pan into the oven

-Let them bake for about 20 minutes. They should be lightly golden on the edges.

-Remove them from the oven, and wait about 5 minutes and add your frosting

-Plate and enjoy!
