In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk and 1/2 cup sugar; let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast.

Add the milk mixture, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 2 large eggs to the flour mixture; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover with a towel and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Spread softened butter over the dough evenly, using about 1/4 cup.

In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon; sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Roll the dough tightly into a log, then slice into equal pieces, about 12 rolls.

Place the rolls in a greased baking dish; cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the wood-fired oven to about 350°F (175°C).

Bake the rolls in the wood-fired oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

While the rolls are baking, in a bowl, mix 8 ounces cream cheese, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.

Once the rolls are done baking, spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls.

Serve warm and enjoy!
