1/2 cup heavy cream (4 oz. or 120 mL - may substitute milk) 
1 Tablespoon yeast (15 grams) 
2 Tablespoons sugar (25 grams - I accidentally said teaspoons in the video) 
1 teaspoon salt (5 g) 
4 Tablespoons salted butter (56 grams) 
1 egg 
3-4 cups AP flour (360-480 g) 

Warm Milk until luke warm in microwave. If not using instant yeast, sprinkle yeast on milk and let sit 10 minutes. With whip attachment combine milk, cream, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, and egg. Combine. Add 1/2 cup of flour then switch to dough hooks. Add flour gradually until dough is no longer sticky to touch. Knead in mixer for 5 ish minutes or knead by hand. place in greased bowl and cover. Let rise in warm place for 20 min until double.

Roll out into large rectangle.

 Filling: 
1/2 cup salted butter (113 g) 
1 cup brown sugar (213 g) 
2-3 tablespoons cinnamon to taste (30-45 g) 

Melt butter and comine in cinnamon and sugar. Spread evenly over rectangle dough.  roll up dough into a sausage. Using floss cut rolls. place in pan spread evenly. Cover and let rise until double. Bake in oven at 325F for 20ish minutes until just barely golden brown.

Glaze:
 4 oz. cream cheese 
4 tablespoons salted butter (56 g) 
1 1/2 - 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar (170-285 g) 
1 teaspoon vanilla (5 g) 
2-3 tablespoons milk (30-45 g/mL) 

 IMPORTANT! I ended up baking around 20-24 minutes at 325° F (163° C) In the video I said 14-18 minutes but I must have made them extra thick and gooey this time.😉 just keep watching them until they are light golden brown. Happy baking’
