Method
 

Brioche Cinnamon Rolls Steps
  1. Warm 1 cup of whole milk to lukewarm. Mix half of the granulated sugar with the milk and sprinkle the fresh yeast on top. Allow to foam for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine the yeast mixture and 2 large eggs. Gradually add 3.5 cups of bread flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the remaining sugar.
  3. Gradually add in ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, continuing to knead the dough for another 10 minutes until shiny and elastic.
  4. Transfer the kneaded dough into a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it chill for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  5. In a bowl, cream together ¼ cup of softened butter, ½ cup of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon until smooth.
  6. After the cold rise, remove the dough and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Roll the dough into a large rectangle and spread the filling evenly across it.
  7. Slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces about 1.5 inches thick using a sharp knife or dental floss.
  8. Place the cut rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover loosely and let them proof for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the proofed rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Whip together 8 ounces of cream cheese and 1 cup of powdered sugar until creamy.
  11. Spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls and serve.
