Add 1 cup of warm milk, 2 eggs, and 1/3 cup of melted butter into the bread machine.

Add 4.5 cups of bread flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 cup of white sugar on top of the wet ingredients in the bread machine.

Sprinkle 2.5 teaspoons of yeast on top of the dry ingredients in the bread machine.

Close the lid and start the bread machine on setting 8 (dough).

Mix 1 cup of packed brown sugar and 2.5 tablespoons of cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside.

Once the dough is ready, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a ball.

Cover the dough ball with saran wrap and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Roll the dough out to approximately 16 by 21 inches on a floured surface.

Spread 1/3 cup of butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture evenly on top of the buttered dough.

Roll the dough tightly from one edge to the other and cut it into 12 pieces.

Place the 12 pieces into a lightly buttered 9 by 13 pan and cover with saran wrap.

Let the rolls rise for about 30 minutes while the oven preheats.

Mix together 1.5 cups of confectioner sugar, 3 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of softened butter, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract using an electric hand mixer to make the frosting.

Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Spread the homemade frosting on the hot cinnamon rolls immediately after removing them from the oven.
