1️⃣ Prepare the Dough:

In a large bowl, mix warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Add sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Mix well.

Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

2️⃣ Make the Filling:

In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.

3️⃣ Roll and Fill:

Roll out the dough into a 14x9-inch rectangle.

Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.

Roll the dough tightly from the long edge and cut into 12 equal rolls.

4️⃣ Second Rise & Bake:

Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.

Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
