To make a Cinnabon classic cinnamon roll, begin by activating the yeast. Pour warm milk into a mixing bowl and sprinkle yeast over it. Let it sit for 3-4 minutes until frothy.
Next, mix the dough. Add eggs, butter, sugar, and salt to the bowl. Mix until combined. Add 4 cups of flour and mix until barely combined. Let it rest for 5 minutes. Knead the dough using a dough hook for 5-7 minutes, adding up to 1/2 cup more flour if needed. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until nearly double, about 30 minutes.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread the filling mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Roll the dough into a tight log, starting from the long side. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
Place the rolls in a greased baking pan, leaving space between them. Cover and let them proof for 45 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F. After proofing, bake the rolls for 20-22 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
Finally, prepare the frosting. Mix softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and maple extract. Spread the frosting over the warm rolls. Enjoy your homemade Cinnabon classic cinnamon rolls!
