Dough Preparation
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 ¼ teaspoons of instant yeast, ⅓ cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix in 1 ⅓ cups of warm milk and 2 eggs. Add ⅓ cup of softened salted butter, then mix on low speed until smooth and elastic, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rest in a warm spot for 15-60 minutes until puffy.
Filling Preparation
- In a medium bowl, mix together ½ cup of brown sugar, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon.
Roll and Shape
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently. Roll the dough out into a rectangle (12x18 inches). Spread ⅓ cup of softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar filling.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log, pinch to seal, and slice into 12 equal rolls.
- Place the sliced rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, leaving space between each roll. Cover tightly and let them rise for 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight.
Baking the Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
Icing Preparation
- In a small pot, brown ⅓ cup of salted butter. Transfer to a mixing bowl, add 8 oz of cream cheese, and whisk until smooth. Gradually stir in 2 cups of powdered sugar, hazelnut liqueur, and vanilla extract.
Icing the Rolls
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and generously spread the cream cheese icing over the warm rolls.

Notes
For best results, use instant yeast, ensure milk is at the correct temperature, and allow enough time for rising to achieve the perfect texture.
