In a bowl, combine warm milk, instant yeast, and granulated sugar.

In another bowl, beat eggs and then add them to the mixing bowl.

Sift in all-purpose flour and add salt.

Add vanilla extract and mix until it forms a dough, which takes about 5 to 8 minutes.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a tea towel, and proof for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

In a separate bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the cinnamon sugar filling.

For the icing, combine powdered sugar, softened butter, and softened cream cheese in a separate bowl and mix until creamy.

Sprinkle flour on a clean surface, take out the dough, and knead for 1 to 2 minutes to release trapped air.

Roll the dough flat with a rolling pin.

Brush the dough with melted butter or spread softened butter over it, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.

Roll the dough tightly and brush the edge with milk or water to help it stick.

Cut the rolled dough using cotton thread or dental floss for clean cuts.

Optionally, brush the rolls with leftover melted butter or pour whipped cream over them before baking.

Place the rolls on a baking pan lined with baking paper, cover, and let them rest for 20 to 25 minutes while preheating the oven to 160 to 180°C.

Once they have proofed, bake the rolls until golden brown, then let them cool slightly before spreading the icing on top.
