Pour the warm milk in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle
the yeast on top. Add the eggs, butter, salt and sugar. Add in
4 cups (save 1/2 C if needed) of flour and mix using the beater
blade just until the ingredients are barely combined. Allow the
mixture to rest for 5 min so the flour has time to soak up the
liquids. Scrape the dough off the beater blade and remove it.
Attach the dough hook. Best the dough on medium speed,
adding in up to 1/2 C more flour if needed to form a dough.
Knead for 5-7 min or until the dough is elastic and smooth.
The dough should 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. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Use a
rubber spatula to remove the dough from the mixer bowl and
place it in the greased large bowl. Cover the bowl with a towel
or wax paper. 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 min.
Then turn off the oven and place the dough to rise in there. It
normally takes about 30 min for the dough to rise. Do not allow
the dough to rise too much or your cinnamon rolls will be airy.
While the dough is rising prepare the cinnamon filling. In a
medium bowl combine the soft butter, brown sugar and
cinnamon, mixing until well combined. Set aside.

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. Flour the rolling pin and roll the dough to
about 24X15 rectangle. Use a rubber spatula to smooth the
cinnamon filling over the whole dough rectangle. Starting on
the long end roll up the dough up tightly. Cut into 12 slices
and place in a greased 9X13 baking pan. Cover the pan and
allow the rolls to rise for 20 min or until nearly double.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. 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. 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. Bake at 375 for 17-19 min until
the rolls are lightly golden brown and the center rolls are
cooked through. They could take up to 25 min. While the rolls
are cooling prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a large bowl
combine the softened cream cheese and butter using a hand
mixer. Blend well. Add in your favorite extract and the
powdered sugar. Beat until combined. Spread the frosting
over the cooled rolls. Store in airtight container.
