Instructions

1
|
In a glass measuring cup, heat the milk to 110 degrees F and stir in the sugar and yeast. If using active dry yeast, allow to sit for 15 minutes for the yeast to activate. If using instant yeast, simply move on to the next step.
2
|
Mix the eggs and vanilla into the milk yeast mixture.
3
|
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the flours and salt together.
4
|
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and mix on low-medium speed for about 3 minutes, or until it forms a ball around the hook.
5
|
Add in a few pieces of butter at a time, allowing them to fully incorporate before adding more.
6
|
Once all of the butter is incorporated, turn the mixer up to medium-high speed and mix for 8-12 minutes. The dough will eventually pull away from the sides of the bowl and have a silky smooth texture with minimal stickiness. To check if the dough is ready, use the windowpane test - tear off a small piece and carefully spread it out to see if you can see the light through it without it tearing. If it tears, mix for another minute or two and check again.
7
|
Once the dough is ready, transfer it to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and allow to proof overnight in the fridge. Alternatively, you can let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
8
|
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a long rectangle about 24"x5".
9
|
Brush the softened butter all over the dough. Then, sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the top.
10
|
Roll the dough up into a log. Use a serrated knife to score lines every 1 ½” to get 15 rolls. Use unflavored dental floss to cut each roll by placing the floss under the dough, wrapping around, and pulling to cut through.
11
|
Arrange the rolls in a 9" round pan. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 30 minutes or until nearly room temperature, but still slightly cool to the touch. When pressed with a finger, the dough will slowly spring back.
12
|
While the rolls are proofing, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
13
|
Just before baking, pour the heavy cream all over the cinnamon rolls. Place the pan on top of a baking sheet, then place in the oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until evenly golden on top.
14
|
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and cream cheese until smooth.
15
|
Whisk in the sifted powdered sugar until no lumps remain. Then, mix in the heavy cream.
16
|
Once the cinnamon rolls come out of the oven, immediately pour the glaze on top.
17
|
Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for about 30 minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Bloom Your Yeast Properly 🧪
    Activate the dry yeast in warm milk (110°F) for 5-10 minutes until foamy before mixing into dough; this ensures optimal rise and prevents dense, heavy rolls.
  • Chill Dough for Perfect Shaping ❄️
    Refrigerate your rolled dough for 30 minutes before cutting into mini rolls; cold dough is easier to handle and produces cleaner, more uniform spirals.
  • Heavy Cream Soak Creates Luxury 🥛
    Pour heavy cream around (not over) the rolls in the baking dish just before baking so it absorbs into the brioche dough during cooking, creating an impossibly soft, custard-like texture.
  • Brown Sugar Moisture Trick 🤎
    Pack your dark brown sugar mixture tightly into the cinnamon layer to prevent it from falling out during rolling and ensure concentrated flavor in every bite.
  • Cream Cheese Frosting Timing ✨
    Spread frosting on warm rolls immediately after baking so it melts slightly into the crevices; let cool for 5 minutes before serving for the perfect balance of melt and structure.
