Dough ingredients:
1 Tablespoon yeast (I use quick rise)
1 cup warm milk
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4 cups flour
Filling Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter/margarine (softened)
1 cup brown sugar
cinnamon
Cream Cheese Icing Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter/margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
2 Tablespoons cream cheese
2 Tablespoons whipping cream or milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt
DOUGH INSTRUCTIONS:
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let sit for 10 minutes. In a large bowl mix sugar, butter/margarine, salt and eggs. Stir in yeast mixture. Add flour and mix well. Knead for a few minutes. Turn oven to lowest temperature and leave for 30 seconds. Turn oven OFF. Turn the light on for a perfect rising environment. Place dough in covered bowl in the oven. Let rise for 1 1/4 hours until doubled in size.
FILLING INSTRUCTIONS: On floured surface roll out dough to 1/4 inch in rectangular shape. Spread filling over dough. Roll up and cut into 12-18 slices. Place on greased 11x15" baking sheet. (sometimes I spread them out more and use two baking pans for the batch—a 9x13” and an 8x11”) Rise until doubled in size (approx. 1 hour). Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 10 minutes until golden.
ICING INSTRUCTIONS Whip until fluffy. Ice cinnamon buns while still warm.

Thanks so much for posting this! I've used your recipe a few times now and they are SOOO dangerously good.
Just some of my own experiments have lead me to make a few changes: I make 1.5x the suggested amount for the filling and the icing plus substitute half the flour with whole wheat (I know, sort of a trade-off in the healthy dept) and, well, just say I eat way TOO many of them -I don't dare make them too often :D
it worked really well, but the time to bake time/temp doesn't seem to work very well! Is there another suggested temp you use?
Otherwise, nice and fluffly, added more filling than suggested, also add a caramel type sauce to the bottom of the pan like sticky buns to add some extra goodness!
thanks!
I'm making these right now! The cinnamon buns smell amazing and the icing is perfect! Thanks so much!!
I would never make these again! I do not recommend. They turn out doughy and there is no measurement for the cinnamon. Also the frosting is way too sweet and not cream cheesy at all! Boo this recipe!
I would suggest to bake these much slower and lower heat. I followed the recipe exactly and failed horribly. All ovens are different and plus where we live differs too. Humidity or dryness. My 2nd attempt I baked them in a glass dish not pan like 1st attempt. And baked them at 300 F for 15 minutes. They were incredible and didn't burn to bottom of baking dish. I added more cream cheese to frosting and coloured it pink for Valentine's Day. Also raisins or pecans crumbled on top is awesome.
