Ingredients
- Dough:
- 1 c. lukewarm water
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/3 c. unsalted butter, cut up
- 4 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp. instant yeast
- Filling:
- 1/3 c. unsalted butter, softened
- 1 c. brown sugar, packed
- 3 Tb. ground cinnamon
- Icing:
- 1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 c. unsalted butter, softened

Preparation
Step 1
Knead all of the dough ingredients in an electric mixer, using the dough hook, for 4-7 minutes at medium speed. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turn to grease all sides, cover the bowl with a proof cover or plastic wrap, and let it rise for 60 minutes, till it's nearly doubled in bulk.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased work surface, and roll it into a 16x21" rectangle. Spread the dough with the 1/3 c. butter. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle it evenly over the dough. Starting with the short end, roll the dough into a log, and cut it into 12 slices. Place the buns in a lightly greased 9x13" pan. Cover the pan with a proof cover or plastic wrap, and let the buns rise until they're nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake the buns in a preheated 400 degree oven until they're golden brown, about 15 minutes. While the buns are baking, make the icing.
Icing: In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla. Spread the icing on the buns while they're warm.
