2¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast

1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, room temp
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
3 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
-
¾ tsp salt
🍯 Filling:
-
½ cup brown sugar (packed)
-
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
💧 Cream Stream Glaze (pour-over cream):

🍶 Cream Cheese Frosting:
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
-
1–2 tbsp milk (to desired consistency)
🔧 Instructions:
1. Make the Dough:
-
In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Stir in yeast and let sit for 5–10 mins until foamy.
-
Mix in eggs, melted butter, and salt. Gradually add flour and knead until soft and elastic (8–10 minutes by hand or 5–6 mins in a stand mixer).
-
Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–1½ hours or until doubled.
2. Roll and Fill:
-
Roll dough into a 14×9″ rectangle on a floured surface.
-
Spread softened butter over dough, mix brown sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle evenly on top.
-
Roll up tightly from the long side and slice into 9 large rolls.
3. Second Rise:
-
Place rolls in a greased 9×13″ pan. Cover and let rise for 30–40 mins until puffy.
4. Bake:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Before baking, pour the “Cream Stream” (heavy cream + vanilla) evenly over the risen rolls.
-
Bake for 25–30 mins until golden brown and bubbly.
5. Frosting:
-
While rolls cool slightly, beat together frosting ingredients until smooth.
-
Spread over warm rolls for melty goodness.
🍽️ Serve Warm – the cream stream makes the bottom gooey and caramelized, while the frosting tops it off with tangy sweetness.
