Instructions
Dough:
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the warm water, 1/4 cup sugar, and yeast. Whisk to combine and let sit for 10 minutes. The yeast should bloom and be foamy.
Stir in the milk, 1/3 cup butter and egg. Add 1/2 the flour and mix.
Add remaining flour and salt.
Knead for 6 minutes. Place in greased bowl and allow to rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour.
Punch down dough, and roll out into a 15x9-inch rectangle. Spread melted butter over dough.
Combine 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon together. Spread over melted butter. Roll up, jelly-roll style. Pinch seam to seal.
Using a very sharp knife, slice into 8 equal pieces. Place into greased baking tray and allow to rise for 45 minutes until puffy.
Bake at 350° F for 30-35 minutes.
Frosting:
Cream the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add powered sugar and 1 tablespoon milk and mix. Add remaining milk until you get a smooth and fluffy frosting.
