1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
For the Cinnamon Filling:

1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2–3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg, mixing until smooth. Gradually add the remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl for the filling.
- Roll the dough into a 12×15-inch rectangle and spread the cinnamon filling evenly over it. Roll tightly and cut into 12 rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- For the glaze, mix softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over warm rolls and enjoy!
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or raisins to the filling.
These rolls can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning for convenience.
