Make the Dough: Add softened butter, salt, eggs, and flour to the bowl and mix well.

Step 3

Let it Rise: Place dough into an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 4

Roll it Out: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 16x12-inch rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 5

Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, butter, and sugar with a hand mixer until smooth.

Step 6

Preheat Oven: Set to 400°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.

Step 11

Top Rolls: Drizzle glaze over warm rolls.

Tips for Success

  • Ensure the yeast foams up before proceeding—this means it’s active!

  • Roll the dough tightly for uniform rolls that bake evenly.

  • Let the rolls cool slightly before glazing so the icing doesn’t melt too quickly.
