Soft and Fluffy Cinnamon-Walnut Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting: A Decadent Delight

In a small bowl, warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C). Add the sugar and yeast, stirring gently to dissolve. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it becomes frothy.
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Prepare the Filling:

While the dough is rising, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined. Stir in the chopped walnuts and set aside.
Assemble the Rolls:

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Roll the dough out into a rectangle, about 12 x 18 inches in size.
Spread the cinnamon-walnut filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from the longer side, carefully roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 even rolls and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cover with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the Rolls:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:

While the rolls are baking, beat the cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, and continue mixing until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Frost and Serve:

Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the warm rolls.
Serve and enjoy!
