- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Mascarpone Icing
This icing adds a rich and creamy layer to the cinnamon rolls that you’ll love!
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the warm milk and melted butter. Mix until combined.
- Add the eggs and continue mixing until a smooth dough forms.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal rolls and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the dish and let the rolls rise overnight in the refrigerator.
- In the morning, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the mascarpone icing by whisking together the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the mascarpone icing on top and serve warm.
