Heat ¾ cup of milk in the microwave for about 50 seconds until warm.
In a mixing bowl, combine ¼ cup sugar, 2 ¼ teaspoons yeast, ¼ cup melted butter, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and the warm milk. Mix well and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Add 3 cups of all-purpose flour to the mixture and knead it with a mixer on medium speed using the dough hook for about 3 minutes until a soft dough forms.
Grease a bowl, place the dough inside, turn it over to coat, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle.
Spread softened butter (up to 1 cup) over the dough, then evenly sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
Roll the dough tightly and cut it into approximately 10 individual buns.
Grease a casserole dish with butter, place the buns inside, cover them, and let them rest for a second rise.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Optionally, brush the buns with heavy cream for extra softness.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until they are golden.
While the buns are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by mixing cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk or cream until smooth.
Spread the frosting over the warm buns and serve.
