Cinnamon Rolls

• Pour the 1 cup Warm milk (115ºF) in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the 2½ tsp Instant dry yeast over top. Allow this to sit for 3-4 minutes. The yeast will get a little frothy to show it is activated.
• Add the room temperature 2 Large eggs, ⅓ cup Salted butter and ½ cup Granulated sugar . Mix until combined.
• Add in 1 tsp Salt and 4 cups flour (save the other 1/2 cup and add only if you need it) 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.
• Scrape the dough off the beater blade and remove it. Attach the dough hook.
• To knead, beat the dough on medium speed for 5-7 minutes, adding in up to ½ cup more flour only if needed to form a dough. The dough should be elastic and smooth. **The dough should be tacky and will pull away from the sides of the bowl but may stick slightly to the bottom. That's ok! Don't be tempted to add more flour at this point. We generally add about 4 ¼ cups, but start with 4 cups.
• 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 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

• While the dough is rising, prepare the cinnamon filling. In a medium bowl, combine the ½ cup Salted butter, 1 cup Brown sugar, packed, and 2 tbsp Cinnamon, mixing until well combined. Set aside.
• Sprinkle a pastry mat or work surface generously with flour. Turn out the dough onto the surface and sprinkle the top of the dough with additional flour.
• Flour a rolling pin and roll the dough to about a 24×15" rectangle. (the size of the rectangle can vary…it does not have to be exact!)
• Use a rubber spatula to smooth the cinnamon filling over the whole dough rectangle.
• Starting on the long side, roll the dough up tightly jelly roll style. 
• Cut into 12 slices and place in a greased 9×13 baking pan. Cover the pan and allow the rolls to rise for 20 minutes or until nearly double in size.
• Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
• Warm the ½ cup 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 in a preheated oven for 25 minutes, until the rolls are lightly golden brown and the center rolls are cooked through. Note…the time will vary based on how big the rolls are, what type of pan, how close the rolls are packed, etc. They could take up to 30 minutes. Check the rolls at 20 minutes. If they are getting too browned, cover loosely with foil for the remaining baking time.

Glaze

• While the rolls are cooling, prepare the glaze.
• Make the glaze by whisking 2 cups Confectioner's sugar, ¼ cup Sour cream, 1 tsp Vanilla extract, and pinch Salt. It should be thick but pourable, if it's too thick add a bit of milk, if it is too thin add a bit of confectioner's sugar.
• Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy immediately.
