Instructions

1. Whisk the warm milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar and the yeast in a stand mixer bowl; let it sit 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add the remaining sugar and the butter and beat on medium until the butter is slightly broken up. Add about 1 cup of flour, the eggs and salt, and beat on low for 30 seconds. Scrape the bowl, add the remaining flour and beat on medium for about 2 minutes until the dough pulls away from the sides. If it is too sticky, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time; if too dry and crumbly, add milk 1 teaspoon at
3. Knead on low speed with the dough hook for 5 minutes, or by hand on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes, adding up to 1 teaspoon of flour at a time if too sticky. The dough should be smooth, supple and elastic; it is ready when a poke springs back slowly and it passes the windowpane test.
4. Grease a large bowl, add the dough and turn to coat. Cover and let rise at room temperature for 1½ to 2 hours, until doubled.
5. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment.
6. Punch down the dough and roll it on a lightly floured surface into a 12×18-inch rectangle, letting it rest 10 minutes if it keeps shrinking.
7. Spread the softened butter over the dough. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the butter. Roll tightly into an 18-inch log, tucking any spilled filling on top. Cut into 12 even rolls about 1.5 inches wide with a sharp knife and arrange in the pan.
8. Cover and let the rolls rise until puffy, about 1 hour (or use the overnight option in the notes).
9. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
10. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes, until lightly browned on top, rotating the pan halfway through; tent with foil if browning too fast. Cool on a rack for about 10 minutes.
11. Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the icing sugar, cream or milk and vanilla; beat on low 30 seconds, then on high 1 minute. Spread over the warm rolls and serve immediately.
