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
Ingredient note
Eggs are safe during pregnancy as long as they are cooked all the way through.
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.

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.
