Ingredients

For the Dough:

1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs

For the Cinnamon-Walnut Filling:

1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Stir in the active dry yeast and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this step.
Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
