🍩 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast

  • Warm the milk until it’s cozy (around 100°F / 38°C — like a warm bath 🛁).
  • Sprinkle yeast over the milk. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

2. Make the Dough

  • Add sugar, softened butter, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
  • Gradually add flour and mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead for about 7 minutes until smooth and elastic. ✨

3. First Rise

  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl.
  • Cover with a clean cloth and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size. 🌞

4. Prepare the Filling

  • Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together.
  • Keep the softened butter ready for spreading!

5. Roll Out the Dough

  • Punch down the dough and roll it into a 16×12 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  • Spread the butter over the surface, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mix generously. 🍂

6. Roll and Cut

  • Roll the dough tightly from the long side.
  • Slice into 12 equal pieces.
  • Place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.

7. Second Rise

  • Cover and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy and beautiful. 🥰

8. Bake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes until lightly golden brown.

9. Make the Frosting

  • Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy and smooth.
