In the mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add in the sugar, warm whole milk, and then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for 3-5 minutes to activate.

Next, add the room temperature butter and eggs as well as the vanilla extract, mix briefly with the dough hook. It won't come together much and will look lumpy.

Lastly, add in the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and salt. Mix for 5 minutes or until everything comes together to form a fairly smooth dough. The dough should not be super sticky, if it is add 31 grams (or 1/4 cup) more flour.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 45-60 minutes.

In a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and room temperature salted butter. Mix until well combined.

Assemble & Bake

Lightly grease a 9"x13" baking dish.

Once the dough has finished rising, lightly flour the countertop and roll the dough out into a 10"x16" rectangle. Scoop the cinnamon filling into the center of the rectangle and evenly spread it all over the top of the dough. Leave a 1/2" seam bare of the filling on the long side of the dough furthest from you.

Start rolling the dough on the long side closest to you (the side on which you took the cinnamon filling all the way to the edge) and roll it all the way up to the edge you left bare.

Use a serrated bread knife to cut a little bit off each end of the cinnamon roll log to make it even. Then cut 12 equal pieces, each piece should be about 1" wide. Place each cinnamon roll in the lightly greased baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 25 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees while the rolls are rising.

Bake on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes or until they are a nice golden brown color.

In a medium-size bowl, combine room temperature butter and cream cheese, as well as the vanilla extract. Stir together.

Next, add in the powdered sugar. Mix into the cream cheese and butter before whipping to avoid the powdered sugar flying out everywhere. Whisk or stir together until combined! If you'd like the frosting fluffier, use your KitchenAid with the whisk attachment to whip it.

Once the cinnamon rolls are finished baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 5-10 minutes. They can be frosted while they are still warm, the cream cheese frosting will melt and turn into more of a glaze. Or, they can be frosted when they are almost cool, or completely cool and the frosting will remain light and fluffy, more like Cinnabon. Bakers preference!

Serve immediately and enjoy immensely!
