Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a pan, heat the milk and butter until melted, then cool slightly. Pour into dry ingredients, add eggs, and mix until smooth, gradually incorporating more flour.
Kneading and First Rise
  1. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
Rolling and Filling
  1. Once risen, punch down the dough and roll out into a rectangle. Spread with butter, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll tightly, seal edges, and slice into 12 pieces.
Second Rise
  1. Place the slices in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Baking
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
Icing Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to desired icing consistency.
Frosting
  1. Drizzle icing over warm cinnamon rolls.
