Ingredients
Dough
- 4 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 pkg Dry Yeast
- ⅓ cup Softened Margarine
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Filling
- 1 cup Brown Sugar Packed
- 4 tbsp Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp All Purpose Flour

Cream Cheese Frosting
- ¼ cup Cream Cheese
- 1 stick Softened Margarine (8 tbsp)
- 1½ cups Powdered Sugar
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Dough
- Heat milk to 100°-110°F either in a small sauce pan or in the microwave.
- Dissolve yeast in warm milk and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Mix milk, flour, eggs, salt, sugar and margarine until well combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean surface dusted lightly with flour. Knead the dough until the surface is smooth.
- Place dough back in bowl and let proof until the dough has doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Once the dough has proofed roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Roll until the dough is approximately a ¼ inch thick and is in a rectangle approximately 20 inches long and 18 inches wide.
Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Filling
- Spread margarine evenly over the surface of the dough with your hand.
- Sprinkle flour over margarine.
- Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over margarine.
- Sprinkle brown sugar over cinnamon evenly.
- Press flour, sugar and cinnamon into the margarine with your hand.
- Roll dough up along the long end until it is completely rolled up.
- Cut roll into 9 pieces approximately 2 inches long.
- Stand up pieces so you can see the roll in a greased 8 x 8 inch baking pan.
- Place in the oven for 30-45 minutes. Check after 30 minutes to see if the dough is cooked through in the middle. If they are not done and the tops are getting too brown, cover with a piece of tin foil to prevent any more browning.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- Add all frosting ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Spread frosting generously on the rolls once they come out of the oven right before serving.
