Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

For the filling

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

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 1 cup of milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it reaches 110°F (43°C) — warm to the touch but not hot. Pour into the bowl of a stand mixer, sprinkle in the yeast and 1 tbsp of the granulated sugar, and let stand for 5–10 minutes until foamy and fragrant.
2
Add the melted butter, remaining 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Add the flour and mix on low speed with the dough hook until a shaggy dough forms, about 1 minute, then increase to medium speed and knead for 7–8 minutes until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
