Pour the warm milk in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Add the eggs, butter, and sugar. Mix until combined. Add salt and 4 cups of the flour. Mix with the paddle attachment until the ingredients are barely combined. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate. Replace the paddle attachment with the dough hook. Beat the dough on medium speed to form a dough. Let it knead on speed 3 or 4 tor about for 5-7 minutes or until the dough is elastic and smooth - it will be sticky and sticking to the sides of the bowl, but not so wet it's pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Add up the 1/2 cup more flour, if needed. Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size, usually about 1 - 1 ½ hours. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. FILLING: Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is approximately 16 inches long by 12 inches wide. It should be approximately 1/4 inch in thickness. Brush or spread the butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. Beginning from the long edge, roll the dough, keeping it snug. Cut the dough in half and then in half again, and then again. You should end up with about 12 (1 - 1 ½ inch slices). You can also use dental floss to slice rather than a knife. Place the slices 1 inch apart into the prepared baking dish. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise for another 30 minutes, or until doubled in size (If making the night before, cover dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, remove from refrigerator and allow to rise in a warm place until they are puffy, approximately 1-2 hours). When ready to bake, place in preheated 350-F oven for 20-30 minutes or until nicely browned. FROSTING: Mix all the ingredients together until fluffy. Remove from oven and allow to cool 5 minutes. Spread the frosting evenly over entire surface and allow to melt down all sides of the rolls. Refrigerate leftovers. Make sure not to leave out too long since there is cream cheese in the frosting.Christmas Morning Cinnamon Rolls
