3. Add the yeast mixture, then stir in flour gradually (start with 3 1/2 cups).

4. Knead for 5–7 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic (add more flour if sticky).

5. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

2. Make the Filling:

• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.

• Roll dough out into a rectangle (approx. 16×12 inches).

• Spread softened butter over dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar evenly.

3. Shape & Cut:

• Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log.

• Slice into 12 rolls and place into a greased 9×13 baking dish.

---

4. Second Rise:

• Cover and let rolls rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffy.

---

5. Bake:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Bake rolls for 20–25 minutes, until golden and set but still soft.

  • Tip: Don’t overbake or they’ll dry out.

---

6. Make the Glaze:

• Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla (and cream cheese if using).

• Spread over warm rolls right out of the oven so it melts in beautifully.

🔄 Optional Variations:

• Sticky buns: Add a caramel glaze with chopped pecans at the bottom of the pan.

• Overnight version: After shaping, refrigerate the pan overnight. Let sit at room temp 30–60 minutes before baking.

• Mini rolls: Cut smaller slices and reduce bake time slightly.
