Method
 

Preparation
  1. Warm 1 cup of whole milk to about 37ºC (100ºF) and dissolve 2 tablespoons of fresh yeast in it.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of softened butter, ¾ cup of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon.
  6. 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.
  7. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, and roll it tightly from the longer side into a log.
  8. Cut the log into 12 equal rolls using dental floss or a serrated knife.
  9. Arrange the cut cinnamon rolls in a lined baking tray, cover them loosely, and let rise for an additional 45 minutes.
  10. Preheat your oven to 190ºC (375ºF) and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by blending 4 ounces of cream cheese with ¼ cup of softened butter.
  12. Gradually incorporate 1 cup of sifted powdered sugar until fluffy and creamy.
  13. Once the rolls are baked, allow them to cool for about 10 minutes before spreading the frosting over them.
