Dough
Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, add warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 5
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, butter, and sugar with a hand mixer until smooth.

Tips for Success
Ensure the yeast foams up before proceeding—this means it’s active!
Roll the dough tightly for uniform rolls that bake evenly.
Let the rolls cool slightly before glazing so the icing doesn’t melt too quickly.
