Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/2 c warm water (not hot-110 to 115 degrees)
2 pkg active dry yeast (about 5 tsp. to 2 tbsp.)
1 1/2 c lukewarm milk
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp salt (less if preferred)
2 eggs
1/2 c butter or margarine, room temperature
3 c flour (total about 5-6 cups)
2 c brown sugar
4 Tbsp cinnamon
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
4 oz butter or margarine, room temperature
2 c powdered sugar
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp lemon extract

Steps:

1. Measure into a mixing bowl: 1/2 C. warm water and add in 2 pkgs of active dry yeast. Stir until dissolved. Stir in 1 1/2 C. of lukewarm milk, 1/2 C. sugar, 2 tsp. salt, 2 eggs, 1/2 C. of room temperature butter. Mix with spoon and begin adding flour to handle easily (1 cup and then 1/2 cup at a time). Keep dough soft and almost sticky, just so you can handle it. This will keep the dough from ending up hard or tough. Mix by hand and then turn out on a floured counter top. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 min). Round up in a greased bowl, grease lightly on top and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a cold rise (4 hours @ 36-40 degrees or a warm rise at 75-85 degrees until double in size.
2. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 18" x 24" wide (use a ruler because it is important to get it this size. Keep the corners as square as possible. The rolled out dough should resemble a 18x24" rectangle. Spread 1/2 pound of soft butter or margarine over the surface except for the bottom 1 " of dough. Spread the brown sugar mixture (2 C. brown sugar, 3 tbsp. cinnamon) over the butter and roll tightly from the top down towards yourself. It is very important that you roll it very evenly and tightly. Roll dough all the way down to the unbuttered seam. Measure and cut into 12 equal 2" wide rolls. Use a ruler to measure this in order to have them all cook evenly.
3. Line your 2 pans with parchment paper. Paper should hang over all side an inch or two. Place 6 rolls (2 rows of 3) into each of the 2- 12x8" high side pans. The pans must have high sides in order for the rolls to have something to adhere to while they bake. You can also use a 11x17" or 13x9" pan if a 12x8 " is not available.
4. Warm rise at 110 degrees(a warm oven with a pan of water), for 45 minutes or until the rolls fill the pans.
5. Preheat over to 310 degrees and bake for at least 15 minutes. Depending on your oven, you may need to make them up to 40 minutes. I have made this recipe in different kitchens and ovens vary so much that you will have to keep checking to make sure the center is done. The rolls will be golden brown on top, have a firm crust, and not sink down to the touch.
6. Frost with the cream cheese frosting when hot(4 ounces of cream cheese, 4 ounces of butter or margarine at room temperature, 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp lemon extract. Cut between rolls in pan and allow to cool before removing.
7. These cinnamon rolls are time consuming to make, but your family will love you for it. I make these for breakfast on Christmas morning. What a delicious way to start your day!

1/2 cup butter, softened, not margarine

Tips:

Activate the yeast properly: Ensure the water is between 105-115°F (40-46°C) to activate the yeast effectively.
Knead the dough thoroughly: Kneading develops the gluten in the dough, resulting in a soft and chewy texture. Aim for 5-7 minutes of kneading.
Let the dough rise in a warm place: A warm environment helps the yeast work its magic and double the dough in size. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
Roll the dough evenly: Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a large rectangle, ensuring it's of uniform thickness. This will ensure even cooking and consistent cinnamon roll spirals.
Generously fill the dough with cinnamon sugar: Don't be shy with the cinnamon sugar mixture; it's what gives the rolls their irresistible flavor. Sprinkle it evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Cut the dough into uniform pieces: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into equal-sized pieces. This ensures even baking and presentation.
Bake the rolls at the right temperature: Bake the cinnamon rolls at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
Make the cream cheese frosting while the rolls bake: This allows the frosting to chill slightly before spreading it on the warm rolls.
Let the rolls cool slightly before frosting: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before spreading the frosting. This will prevent the frosting from melting and becoming too runny.
