Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Dough: Melt unsalted butter and warm milk until it reaches 100-110°F. Combine with active dry yeast and granulated sugar, let sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Add egg, salt, and vanilla to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in flour until a slightly tacky dough forms.
  3. Proof Dough: Cover the bowl and place in a warm oven for 10 minutes to allow the dough to rise slightly.
  4. Make Filling: Combine softened butter, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth.
  5. Roll Out Dough: Roll the dough into a rectangle, spread filling evenly, and roll tightly.
  6. Cut Rolls: Slice the rolled dough into 12-15 segments and place in a greased baking dish.
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F and bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Cool and Ice: Cool rolls for 10 minutes, then mix cream cheese icing ingredients and spread over warm rolls.
