Ingredients

• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.5 cups water
• 0.25 cups butter
• 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 , .25 ounce
• 1 large egg

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 To make the cinnamon rolls: Heat milk, water, and 1/4 cup butter together in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling, about 5 minutes. Let cool to 120 to 130 degrees F (49 to 54 degrees C), 1 to 2 minutes.
3. 3 Mix flour, white sugar, salt, and yeast together in a separate bowl. Mix egg into warm milk mixture.
4. 4 Pour milk mixture and 1/3 of the flour mixture into a mixing bowl; beat using an electric mixer until moistened. Add remaining dry ingredients slowly until a dough has pulled together.
5. 5 Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8 minutes. Place in a covered bowl and let rise in a dry, warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
6. 6 Punch dough down. Roll on a lightly floured surface into a 16x12-inch rectangle. Spread 1/4 cup softened butter evenly over dough.
7. 7 Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in small bowl and sprinkle evenly over dough.
8. 8 Roll up from the short side; cut into 12 even rolls.
9. 9 Place rolls into a greased 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Cover and let rise in a dry, warm place, 8 hours, to overnight. When ready to bake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
10. 10 Bake cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven until golden, about 17 minutes.
11. 11 Meanwhile, make the icing: Beat cream cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy; slowly mix in confectioners' sugar until smooth.
12. 12 Remove cinnamon rolls from the oven and flip out onto a cooling rack; let cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
13. 13 Cover the tops of the rolls with icing.
