STEP 1:

Combine 2 cups (280 g) flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixer bowl. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds until incorporated.

STEP 2:

Heat milk for 45 seconds to 1 minute, until very warm (120-130°F). Add warm milk, butter, and egg to flour mixture.

STEP 3:

Mix in wet ingredients on low speed for 25 seconds until combined.

STEP 4:

Add remaining 1 1/2 cups (210 g) flour to the mixer bowl.

STEP 5:

Mix in flour on low speed for 20 seconds, just until incorporated and a soft dough forms.

STEP 6:

Knead dough on low speed until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a bowl coated with nonstick spray and cover with plastic.

STEP 7:

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.

STEP 8:

Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and roll into a rectangle. Spread top of the dough with softened butter.

STEP 9:

Sprinkle with brown sugar-cinnamon filling mixture.

STEP 10:

Press filling into dough with a rolling pin.

STEP 11:

Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough rectangle into six strips.

STEP 12:

Roll up one strip into a coil.

STEP 13:

Place coil in the center of prepared baking dish (this forms the center of the giant roll).

STEP 14:

Continue spiraling the strips around the center roll, until you’ve used up all the strips.

STEP 15:

Cover giant cinnamon roll loosely with plastic and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

STEP 16:

Bake roll in the center of the oven for 35 minutes, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 195°F to 200°F.

Top with cream cheese glaze and enjoy!
