2¼ tsp (7 g) active dry yeast
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
½ tsp salt
3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
For the Cinnamon Filling
½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, softened

2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup (90 g) powdered sugar

Instructions
Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add the egg, melted butter, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add the flour and knead for about 8–10 minutes, until the dough is soft, smooth, and slightly tacky.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Make the filling: Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
Roll the dough into a rectangle, approximately 15 × 10 inches.
Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log. Cut into 10–12 equal rolls.
Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for 22–28 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Make the glaze: Beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add milk gradually until you reach a creamy consistency.
Spread the glaze generously over the warm cinnamon rolls.
Serve warm and enjoy those soft, fluffy, gooey cinnamon rolls! 🤎
