Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/3 cup whole milk (320g)
  • 4 teaspoons active dry yeast (or instant yeast)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour (650g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (113g)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (113g)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed (200g)
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (120g), room temp
  • 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature (113g)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (56g)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (60g)
  • 1 cup icing sugar (100g)

Instructions

  1. Warm the whole milk in a saucepan until it's just warm to the touch; remove from heat and sprinkle in the yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, salt, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and the yeast mixture; mix well.
  3. Gradually add all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms; knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread softened butter over it. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the buttered dough.
  6. Roll tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces. Place on a greased baking sheet and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. For frosting, beat together cream cheese, softened butter, icing sugar, and heavy cream until smooth; spread over warm rolls before serving.
