Welcome the viewers and introduce the recipe for Cinnabon cinnamon rolls.

Mention the use of rapid rise yeast instead of active dry yeast to simplify the process.

Heat the milk to between 120 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit and pour it into a mixing bowl.

Add 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 packet of rapid rise yeast, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/3 cup of melted margarine to the bowl.

Mix the ingredients together until the dough is no longer sticky and springs back when pressed.

Spray a bowl with cooking spray, place the dough inside, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour.

Prepare the filling by mixing 1 cup of light brown sugar and 2.5 tablespoons of cinnamon together by hand.

Add 1/3 cup of softened margarine to the filling mixture and combine.

Prepare the icing by mixing 1.5 cups of powdered sugar, 8 tablespoons of softened margarine, 2 ounces of cream cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt using a hand mixer.

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

Spread 1/3 cup of margarine over the rolled-out dough using your hands.

Sprinkle the cinnamon filling evenly over the margarine on the dough.

Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other to form a log.

Cut the rolled dough into pieces and place them in a greased baking pan.

Cover the rolls and let them rise again briefly if desired.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the rolls for 10 to 12 minutes, checking for doneness after 15 to 18 minutes.
