Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk and granulated sugar; sprinkle in yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add melted butter, flour, and salt.
2. Knead: Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead for 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl; cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled.
4. Roll Up: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, then roll tightly into a log.
5. Slice: Cut the log into 12 even pieces; place in a greased baking dish. Cover again and let rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F.
6. Bake & Frost: Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth; frost the rolls while they cool slightly.
