Instructions
- Warm the water to 105–115°F. In a bowl, whisk warm water, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5 minutes until foamy.

- Mix on medium speed for about 3–5 minutes until slightly sticky and smooth.
- Cover and let dough rest in a warm place for about 45–60 minutes.
- Make the filling by stirring very soft butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until spreadable.
- Dust a surface with cornstarch, turn out the dough, and roll into a 12×16-inch rectangle.
- Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, then roll it into a log.
- Slice into 12 equal rolls and place in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for 20–30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for 22–26 minutes until golden brown.
- Make the icing by beating cream cheese and butter until smooth, then adding powdered sugar and vanilla.
- Let the rolls cool for 8–10 minutes before spreading icing over the warm rolls.
