Instructions

Activate the yeast by warming milk, stirring in sugar and yeast, then letting it sit until frothy.
In a bowl, combine flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg; mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead on a floured surface for about 6-8 minutes until smooth.
Allow the dough to rise in a greased bowl for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare the caramel topping by melting butter with brown sugar and cream; pour into a baking dish.
Spread softened butter mixed with brown sugar and cinnamon over rolled-out dough; roll tightly and slice into pieces.
Arrange rolls on top of caramel in the baking dish; let rise again for about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
