★Instructions
Activate the yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Make the dough: Once the yeast is activated, add the egg and vegetable oil. Gradually add the flour, mixing as you go, until you form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Knead: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Shape the dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into rolls or whatever form you desire for your sweet and savory treat.
Second rise: Let the shaped dough rise again for about 30 minutes.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Prepare the frosting: While the rolls are baking, beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Frost the rolls: Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese frosting generously over the top.
Enjoy!
