- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup cream cheese (for frosting)

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Heat milk and melt butter in a saucepan; mix both with beaten eggs into the dry ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for about an hour.
