🍥 Soft & Fluffy Glazed Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients
For the Dough:
4 cups (500 g) all-purpose flour
2¼ tsp instant yeast
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup (240 ml) warm milk
2 large eggs
¼ cup (60 g) melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract, optional
For the Cinnamon Filling:
½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup (60 g) softened butter
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
½ cup cream cheese, softened
¼ cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
👩‍🍳 Instructions
Prepare the dough: Mix warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add eggs, melted butter, remaining sugar, and vanilla.
Gradually add the flour and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms, then knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Make the filling: Roll the dough into a large rectangle. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the butter.
Shape the rolls: Roll the dough tightly into a log from one long side. Cut into 10–12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking pan.
Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffy.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). For extra-soft rolls, drizzle a little warm heavy cream over them before baking. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until lightly golden.
Prepare the glaze: Beat cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Mix until creamy.
Spread the cream cheese glaze generously over the warm cinnamon rolls.
