- apply butter or oil into a bowl where you put the dough to let it rise
- shape the dough into a ball and let the dough rise until doubled in size. about 1 to 2 hours
- while the dough is rising, combine all the filling ingredients
- once the dough has doubled in size, flatten the dough using a rolling pin and shape the dough into a rectangle
- apply butter and then sprinkle the fillings on top. spread evenly
- roll the dough into a log and cut evenly about 10 to 12 pieces
- apply butter or oil into a baking dish
- add the rolls into the baking dish and let the rolls rise again for 30 minutes
- pre-heat the oven to 350F
- after 30 minutes bake the rolls for 20 minutes
- while the bread is baking
- prepare the cream cheese topping
- add all the topping ingredients into a bowl and mix well
- if you want the toppings to be thicker add less milk, if you want it to be thinner add more milk
- pour the cream cheese toppings on top while the rolls are still hot
- and enjoy!
