• 2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast (1 packet)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Whole Milk (warmed to 110°F)
• 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (melted for dough)
• 1 Large Egg (room temperature)
• 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (softened for filling)
• 2 tbsp Ground Cinnamon

• 4 oz Cream Cheese (softened)

Instructions

1. Combine Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl whisk together the bread flour, granulated sugar, active dry yeast, and salt.

   Time: PT5M

2. Add Wet Ingredients and Knead

   Warm the milk to about 110°F, then add the melted butter and egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and knead (by hand or with a stand mixer) until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

   Time: PT10M

3. First Rise

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

   Time: PT1H

4. Prepare Cinnamon‑Sugar Filling

   In a small bowl combine the softened butter, ground cinnamon, and packed light brown sugar until a spreadable paste forms.

   Time: PT5M

5. Roll Out the Dough

   Punch down the risen dough, turn it onto a lightly floured surface, and roll it into a rectangle about 12×18 inches and ½‑inch thick.

   Time: PT10M

6. Spread Filling and Roll

   Evenly spread the cinnamon‑sugar butter over the rolled dough, then roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log.

   Time: PT5M

7. Slice Rolls with Dental Floss

   Lay a piece of clean dental floss across the log, pull the ends tight, and slide the floss back and forth to cut the log into 12 equal spirals. Place each roll into a greased 9‑x‑13‑inch baking pan.

   Time: PT5M

8. Second Rise

   Cover the pan loosely with a towel and let the rolls rise until puffy, about 30 minutes.

   Time: PT30M

9. Bake

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 20‑25 minutes, until golden brown on top.

   Time: PT25M

   Temperature: 350°F

10. Make Cream Cheese Frosting

    While the rolls bake, beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

    Time: PT10M

11. Frost Warm Rolls

    Remove the rolls from the oven and let them sit for 5 minutes. Spread the cream cheese frosting over each warm roll so it melts into the pastry.

    Time: PT5M
