Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Allow this mixture to sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add melted unsalted butter, beaten egg, salt, and all-purpose flour to the bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, kneading it for about 5-6 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 20 minutes, until doubled in size.
- Mix together brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
- Punch down the dough, turn it onto a floured surface, and roll it into a rectangle approximately 12x16 inches.
- Spread softened butter over the rolled-out dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over it.
- Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log and slice it into 8 equal pieces.
- Let the rolls rise for an additional 15 minutes while preheating your oven to 350°F.
- Bake the rolls for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and centers feel firm.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream or milk until smooth.
- Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before drizzling the glaze over them and serve warm.

Notes
Ensure milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. Cover dough for warmth during rises.
