Directions

1. Pour the warm milk in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast overtop.
2. Add the eggs, butter and sugar. Mix until combined.
3. Add 480g of flour and salt into the mixer. Use the beater blade and mix until the ingredients are barely combined. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes in order for the flour to soak up the liquid.
4. Then, switch from the beater blade into the dough hook. Beat the dough on medium speed
5. Add in the remaining flour if needed to form a dough. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
6. Move the dough into a slightly greased large bowl. Cover it with a towel or wax paper. Set it aside in a warm place for 30 minutes to rise. Do not allow the dough to rise too much or the cinnamon rolls will be airy.
7. In the meantime, prepare cinnamon filling by mixing the soft butter, brown sugar and cinnamon into a bowl. Set it aside.
8. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and sprinkle the top of the dough with additional flour.
9. Flour a rolling pin and roll the dough to about 24 by 15-inch rectangle.
10. Use a rubber spatula to smooth the cinnamon filling over the whole dough rectangle.
11. Starting on the long end, roll the dough up tightly jelly roll style. Cut into 12 slices and place in a greased 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
12. Cover the pan and allow the rolls to rise for 20 minutes or until nearly double.
13. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Next, ensure the heavy cream is warm. Do not make it hot.
14. Once the rolls have risen, pour the heavy cream over the top of the rolls, allowing it to soak down in and around the rolls.
15. Bake at 190°C for 20 to 22 minutes or until the rolls are lightly golden brown and the center of the rolls are cooked through. The time may vary based on the size of the rolls, type of pan, or how close the rolls are packed. Check the rolls at 20 minutes initially and adjust accordingly. If getting too browned, cover loosely with foil for the remaining of the baking time.
16. Prepare the cream cheese frosting while the rolls are cooling.
17. Whisk the softened cream cheese and butter using hand mixer. Add your favourite extract and powdered sugar. Beat until combined.
18. Spread the frosting over the cooled rolls.
