Method
Whisk the flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar and salt together in a bowl.
Add the warm whole milk, half the melted butter and the egg, then bring together into a soft dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, then place in a greased bowl, cover and leave to rise until doubled in size.
Roll the risen dough out into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
Brush the dough with the remaining melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the light brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll the dough up tightly from the long edge into a log, then slice into rounds and arrange in a lined baking dish, cover and leave to rise again until puffy.
Bake at 180°C until golden brown.
Beat the cream cheese, icing sugar and whole milk together until smooth, then drizzle over the warm rolls.
