3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
7. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
8. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
9. Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
10. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal-sized rolls.
11. Place the rolls in the greased baking dish, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
12. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
13. While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese icing by beating together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
14. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
15. Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the warm rolls.
