Preparation Steps
In a stand mixer bowl, combine warm milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Add eggs, softened butter, remaining sugar, all-purpose and bread flours, and salt. Switch to dough hook and mix on low until combined.
Knead dough on medium speed until smooth, about 5 minutes.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in warm place until doubled, 1 to 2 hours.
Punch down dough and roll out on a floured surface to a 10x15 inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt for the filling.
Spread filling evenly over dough.
Spray a 9x9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
Roll dough tightly from long edge into a log.
Cut log into 9 even rolls and place cut side up in prepared dish. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
Bake rolls 35-40 minutes until golden at edges and fully baked inside.
Let rolls cool slightly before frosting.
Make frosting by mixing cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, and maple extract in a stand mixer on low until combined.
Switch to whisk attachment and beat on high for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Frost the warm rolls generously.

These maple cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
