Method

• In a bowl, mix the yeast, sugar and milk. Cover and set a side for 10 mins in a warm place till bubbles appear.

• In a mixing bowl, fitted with a hook attachment, place the flour, salt, melted butter, egg, and milk mixture.

• Mix for 5-6 mins on medium speed till the dough is smooth.

• Place it in a greased bowl, cover and proof for an hour.

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.

• Roll the dough like a log. Cut into slices and place it into a buttered baking dish.

• Bake for 30 to 35 mins.

• Prepare the frosting by mixing all the ingredients together.

• Allow the rolls to cool for 5 mins, then spread the cream cheese frosting.
