Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Stir the yeast and 1 tsp of the granulated sugar into a few spoonfuls of the warm milk. Leave until foamy, about 5 min.

2. 2

   Put the flour, remaining granulated sugar, salt, eggs, 85 g butter, the yeast mixture and the rest of the milk in a stand mixer bowl.

3. 3

   Knead with the dough hook on medium speed until smooth and pulling away from the bowl, 10-12 min. Add flour 1 tbsp at a time only if it stays wet.

4. 4

   Shape into a ball, set it in a buttered bowl, cover and leave in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

5. 5

   Butter a 23 x 33 cm (9 x 13 in) baking pan.

6. 6

   Roll the dough out on a floured worktop to a 30 x 45 cm (12 x 18 in) rectangle.

7. 7

   Spread the 115 g soft butter over the dough. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon and scatter it evenly on top.

8. 8

   Roll up tightly from a long side and pinch the seam closed.

9. 9

   Cut the log into 12 rolls with a sharp knife or a loop of thread and set them in the pan.

10. 10

    Cover and leave until puffy and nearly doubled, 30-45 min. Heat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F) meanwhile.

11. 11

    Bake until golden on top and cooked through at the center, 22-25 min. Cover loosely with foil if they brown too fast.

12. 12

    Beat the cream cheese with the 55 g butter until smooth, then beat in the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk.

13. 13

    Let the rolls cool for 5 min, then spread the frosting over them while warm.
