- Once doubled in size, flatten and roll out the dough to a rough 12 by 18inch size.
- Brush the melted butter onto the dough. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the buttered dough.
- Roll the dough up tightly lengthwise. And cut into roughly 12 slices.
- Place the slices into a greased pan and cover with a tea towel for 45 minutes.
- Cook for 15 minutes at 160 degrees.
- While baking, create the topping. In a hand mixer, stir cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Once mixed, add the icing sugar and vanilla extract and stir. Add milk if the icing is too thick.
- Once the buns are cooked, top with the icing and serve.
