Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by melting the unsalted butter and heating milk until warm. Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast, allowing it to foam for 10 minutes.
  2. Once foamy, mix in the egg, salt, and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  4. For the filling, mix softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the filling, and roll into a log shape.
  6. Slice the rolled dough into 12 pieces and place in a greased baking dish.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Create icing by mixing cream cheese and powdered sugar, then drizzle over warm rolls.
