Ingredients

• 3/4 cup warm milk (whole milk or 2% preferred) (110 degrees F)
• 2 1/4 teaspoons quick rise or active yeast (1/4-ounce package yeast)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 3 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup dark brown sugar (light brown sugar also works)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

1. Warm the milk to about 110°F, pour it into a mixing bowl and sprinkle the yeast over it.
2. Add the sugar, egg, egg yolk and melted butter and mix; stir in the flour and salt until a dough forms.
3. Knead with a dough hook on medium speed 8 minutes, or by hand 8 to 10 minutes on a floured surface, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.
4. Set the dough in an oiled bowl, cover and rise 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until doubled.
5. Roll the dough on a floured surface into a 14x9-inch rectangle and spread the softened butter over it, leaving a narrow margin on the far side.
6. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle it over the butter and rub it in lightly.
7. Roll the dough up tightly from a 9-inch side, set seam side down and trim about an inch from each end.
8. Cut into 9 pieces about 1 inch thick and arrange in a greased baking pan; cover and rise 30 to 45 minutes.
9. Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly golden.
10. Beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla into a frosting and spread over the warm rolls.
