Ingredients

  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1/2 cup granular sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 whole eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature, for filling)
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature, for frosting)
  • 4 ounce cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, salt, and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix on low speed until combined.
  3. In a separate container, mix milk, remaining sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until activated. Add eggs and melted butter, then mix well.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and knead on high speed for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Add vanilla extract. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours until doubled.
  5. Prepare the filling by mixing butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.
  7. Spread the filling evenly over the dough and roll tightly into a log.
  8. Cut into 9–12 pieces and place in the prepared baking dish. Let rise for 30 minutes.
  9. Pour heavy cream over the rolls and bake at 375 degrees F for 30–35 minutes until fully cooked. Cool for 10 minutes.
  10. Make the frosting by mixing cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream until smooth.
  11. Spread frosting over warm rolls and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure milk is warm, not hot, to properly activate yeast.
  • Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free environment for best results.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat slightly before serving for best texture.
  • You can prepare rolls the night before and refrigerate before the second rise.
