Making the Cinnamon Rolls

• In a greased bowl, mix warm milk and instant yeast together. Then, add in the eggs, flour, granulated sugar, softened butter, salt, and baking soda. Stir until you achieve a smooth, cohesive dough.
• Flour your work surface and knead the dough for about 10-15 minutes until it's elastic and smooth.
• Place the kneaded dough back into a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, approximately 1-2 hours.
• In a mixing bowl, cream together light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened butter until fluffy.
• Once the dough has risen, punch it down slightly. Roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Spread your cinnamon filling evenly across the dough.
• Starting from one end, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal pieces, placing them in a greased baking pan.
• Cover the pan again and let the rolls rise for another 30-40 minutes until they have puffed up nicely.
• Preheat your oven to 400°F and bake the rolls for 20-22 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
• In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar together. Gradually add in the milk and vanilla extract until you reach your desired icing consistency.
• Once the rolls are out of the oven, generously spread the icing over the warm rolls. Serve immediately.
