Preparation Time: 60 minutes Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes Difficulty Level: 2 (Medium)

Preparation Method Steps:

Dough: 1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. 2. Add the warm milk and stir until a dough forms. 3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. 4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Caramel Filling: 1. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon. 2. Spread the caramel filling evenly over the risen dough.

Rolling and Baking: 1. Roll the dough into a 12x18-inch (30x45 cm) rectangle. 2. Starting from the long side, roll up the dough tightly into a spiral. 3. Cut the roll into 8 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish. 4. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until almost doubled in size. 5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). 6. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Icing: 1. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. 2. Drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls.

Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use warm milk, not hot, to activate the yeast.

• Do not overfill the baking dish, as the rolls will expand during baking.
• Allow the rolls to cool slightly before frosting them to prevent the icing from melting.
