Iced Spiced Skillet Rolls

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup whole milk, warmed
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 packets instant yeast (about 1 tablespoon total)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons butter
• 4¼ cups plus 2 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• ⅓ cup confectioners’ sugar
• 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon milk
• Pinch salt

Instructions

1. 1Pour the vegetable oil into a large bowl and set it aside.
2. 2Combine the warmed milk, granulated sugar, eggs, yeast, vanilla extract, salt, and one quarter cup of butter in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until mixed.
3. 3Mix in four and a half cups of the all-purpose flour and beat until a very sticky dough forms.
4. 4Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead for about six minutes, adding just enough of the remaining flour to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
5. 5Form the dough into a ball and place it in the oiled bowl, turning once to coat the top. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and plastic wrap, then let it rise in a warm spot at 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours.
6. 6Melt the remaining two tablespoons of butter and lightly grease a 12-inch oven-safe skillet. Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
7. 7Roll the dough into a 20 by 12-inch rectangle using a floured rolling pin. Brush the surface with the melted butter and sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
8. 8Roll the dough tightly from one long side to create a log. Cut the log crosswise into 12 equal slices and arrange them cut-side down in the prepared skillet.
9. 9Cover the skillet and let the rolls rise in a warm place for one hour.
10. 10Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the rolls for 30 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown.
11. 11Make the glaze by stirring the confectioners sugar, softened cream cheese, softened butter, milk, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until completely smooth.
12. 12Let the baked rolls cool in the skillet on a wire rack for five minutes. Spread the cream cheese glaze over the warm rolls and serve immediately.
