1
Sift the flour, add salt, and whisk together until well combined. Set aside.
2
In a large bowl, combine yeast, white sugar, and warm milk. Add the beaten egg and melted cooled butter, whisking until well combined.
3
Add all the flour and mix with a rubber spatula until no dry flour remains. Cover and rest for 10 minutes. Then knead by hand for 5 minutes until soft and smooth. Shape into a ball, transfer to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 1 hour.
4
Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together, then sift to ensure no lumps. Set aside.
5
Place dough on a floured surface and roll out to an 18 by 12 inch (45 by 30 cm) rectangle. Rest for 10 minutes, then spread softened butter evenly over the surface. Sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter. Cut the dough in half with a pizza cutter to make rolling easier.
6
Roll the first half of dough into a log. Using unflavored floss or thread, cut into 6 even pieces and place in a greased 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Repeat with the second half. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour.
7
Prepare the cream cheese icing by beating softened cream cheese and softened butter with a hand mixer for 2 minutes until combined. Add vanilla extract and sifted confectioner's sugar, then beat for another 2 minutes until smooth. Set aside.
8
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the cinnamon rolls on the center rack and bake for 20 minutes until golden. Let cool for 20 minutes, then top with cream cheese icing. Serve warm.
