Does this look wrong?
For the Dough
  1. 1 cup warm milk
  2. 2 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
  3. 2 large eggs at room temperature
  4. 1/3 cup butter melted
  5. 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  6. 1 teaspoon salt
  7. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
For the Filling
  1. 1/2 cup butter softened
  2. 1 cup packed brown sugar
  3. 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  4. 1/2 cup double cream
For the Frosting
  1. 11 ounces cream cheese softened
  2. 2/3 cup butter softened
  3. 4 cups powdered sugar
  4. 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Pour the warm milk in the bowl of a mixer and sprinkle the yeast over the top.
  2. Add the eggs, butter, salt and sugar.
  3. Add the flour and mix using the beater blade just until the ingredients are barely combined. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes so the flour has time to soak up the liquids.
  4. Scrape the dough off the beater blade and remove it. Attach the dough hook.
  5. Beat the dough on medium speed for 5-7 minutes or until the dough is elastic and smooth. NOTE: The dough will be tacky and will still be sticking to the sides of the bowl. That's ok! Don't be tempted to add more flour at this point.
  6. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray.
  7. Use a spatula to remove the dough from the mixer bowl and place it in the greased large bowl.
  8. Cover the bowl with a towel or wax paper.
  9. Set the bowl in a warm place and allow the dough to rise until double. I like to turn on the oven to the lowest setting for 1-2 minutes. Then turn off the oven and place the dough to rise in there. It normally takes about 30 minutes for the dough to rise. Do not allow the dough to rise too much or your cinnamon rolls will be airy.
Filling
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the soft butter, brown sugar and cinnamon, mixing until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Sprinkle a pastry mat generously with flour. Turn out the dough onto the pastry mat and sprinkle the top of the dough with additional flour.
  3. Flour a rolling pin and roll the dough to about a 12x15" rectangle.
  4. Use a spatula to smooth the cinnamon filling over the whole dough rectangle.
  5. Starting on the long end, roll the dough up tightly, Swiss Roll style.
  6. Cut into 12 slices and place in a greased 9x13 baking pan.
  7. Cover the pan and allow the rolls to rise for 20 minutes or until nearly double.
  8. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  9. Warm the heavy cream until the chill is off. Don't make it hot...you just don't want it cold. It should be warm to the touch.
  10. 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.
  11. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-17 minutes, until the rolls are lightly golden brown and the center rolls are cooked through.
Frosting
  1. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter using a hand mixer. Blend well.
  2. Add in your extract and the powdered sugar. Beat until combined.
  3. Spread the frosting over the cooled rolls.
  4. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
  1. Best served with a lovely coffee for added indulgence.
  2. Try swapping the vanilla extract in the frosting for maple for a different twist.
