In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.

Pour in the warm milk and melted butter. Add the egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Lightly flour your work surface and turn out the dough. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

If it’s feeling sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour as needed.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free environment for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

For a quicker rise, preheat your oven to the lowest setting, turn it off, and let the dough rise there.

While the dough is rising, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it onto a floured surface.

Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the rolled-out dough.

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the cream cheese.

From the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log.

Cut the log into 12 equal slices.

Place the rolls in a greased baking dish.

Brush the tops with melted butter.

Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes while you preheat your oven to 375°F.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and then devour.

These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, so gather your loved ones around and enjoy this sweet masterpiece!
