Instructions

Combine warm water with yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy (about five minutes). In a stand mixer bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Knead until smooth.
Transfer dough to a greased bowl; cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about one hour).
Punch down the dough; roll into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread softened butter over the dough; sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll tightly from one edge; cut into 12 equal pieces.
Place rolls in a greased baking sheet; cover and let rise for another thirty minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
While baking, beat together cream cheese and butter; gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy.
Spread cream cheese icing over warm rolls before serving.
