Preparation
- Warm 1 cup of whole milk to about 37ºC (100ºF) and dissolve 2 tablespoons of fresh yeast in it.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with ¼ cup of granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 3-4 cups of all-purpose flour.
- Using a dough hook, mix until the dough is hydrated, then gradually add ½ cup of softened butter in two parts and knead until smooth, about 8-10 minutes.
- Transfer the kneaded brioche dough to a lightly oiled bowl, covering it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of softened butter, ¾ cup of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 5 mm thick.
- Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, and roll it tightly from the longer side into a log.
- Cut the log into 12 equal rolls using dental floss or a serrated knife.
- Arrange the cut cinnamon rolls in a lined baking tray, cover them loosely, and let rise for an additional 45 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 190ºC (375ºF) and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by blending 4 ounces of cream cheese with ¼ cup of softened butter.
- Gradually incorporate 1 cup of sifted powdered sugar until fluffy and creamy.
- Once the rolls are baked, allow them to cool for about 10 minutes before spreading the frosting over them.

Notes
Ensure the dough is soft and slightly sticky for the best texture. Cool before frosting!
