Ultimate Cinnamon Buns

  1. Preheat oven to 200 F. When the oven reaches temp, turn it off. Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with foil, allowing excess to hang over edges. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
  2. Combine the milk and yeast in a measuring cup; whisk to dissolve the yeast. Add eggs to the measuring cup and whisk to incorporate. In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the flour, cornstarch, sugar and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the milk mixture to the bowl in a steady stream then continue mixing until a rough dough comes together. Increase the speed to medium-low and add the butter, one piece at a time, until incorporated. Continue kneading for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and clears the sides of the bowl. (If the dough is still wet and sticky after 10 minutes, add flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough clears the sides of the bowl.) Turn the dough out onto your work surface and shape into a smooth ball. Transfer the dough to a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place the bowl in the warm oven. Let the dough rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  3. To make the filling: Whisk the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt together in a small bowl. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and roll into an 18-inch square. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the filling evenly over the dough and press gently. Roll the dough into a tight cylinder and pinch the end to seal. Cut the cylinder into 12 equal pieces and transfer the pieces to the prepared pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise in warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake the rolls for 35-40 minutes. Meanwhile, make the glaze by whisking the cream cheese, milk, vanilla and confectioner's sugar in a medium bowl. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and top the rolls with 1/2 cup of the glaze. Let cool for 30 minutes then top with remaining glaze and serve.
