Ingredients

• 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large bowl, mix remaining granulated sugar, egg, melted butter, and yeast mixture. Add flour and salt; mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.
4. Punch down dough. On a floured surface, roll into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over dough. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over butter.
5. Tightly roll dough from the long side. Cut into 12 equal slices. Place in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
7. For frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; beat until fluffy. Spread over warm rolls.
