• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 4 cups all-purpose flour

Filling:​

• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened

Icing:​

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 tablespoons milk (optional, for consistency)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
   • Add sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs. Mix well.
   • Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
   • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
   • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
   • Roll out the dough into a 16x21-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
   • Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
   • Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered dough.
3. Form the Buns:
   • Roll up the dough tightly from the long edge to form a log.
   • Cut the log into 12-15 slices and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
   • Cover and let the buns rise for another 30 minutes.
4. Bake:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Prepare the Icing:
   • While the buns are baking, beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
   • If the icing is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
6. Finish and Serve:
   • Spread the icing over the warm cinnamon buns right after they come out of the oven.
   • Allow the icing to melt slightly and soak into the buns for that perfect gooey texture.

These gooey cinnamon buns are sure to become a favorite in your household. The soft, fluffy dough combined with the sweet, cinnamon filling and creamy icing creates a mouthwatering treat that’s hard to resist. Whether you’re enjoying them fresh out of the oven or reheating them for a quick snack, these cinnamon buns are a delightful way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Happy baking!
