  1. Prepare the dough

    Mix warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes. Add flour, sugar, melted butter, and egg, then knead until smooth.

    If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

  2. Let the dough rise

    Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.

  3. Prepare the filling

    Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle and spread with softened butter. Generously sprinkle with cinnamon mixture.

  4. Form the rolls

    Roll the dough tightly into a long log. Cut into 2-inch slices and place in a greased pan.

  5. Second rise

    Cover the rolls and let rise again for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

  6. Bake

    Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.

  7. Make the icing

    Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk. Spread the icing over warm rolls.
