Ingredients

12 servings

For the dough

¾ cup whole milk
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 tsp fine salt
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

For the filling

¾ cup packed light brown sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

For the glaze

4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
3 tbsp whole milk
½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1
Warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it reaches 105–110°F (40–43°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Pour into the bowl of a stand mixer, sprinkle the yeast and 1 tsp of the granulated sugar over the surface, and let stand until foamy, about 5–10 minutes.
2
Add the remaining granulated sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Fit the stand mixer with the dough hook and mix on low speed until combined, about 1 minute.
