Method
- Pour the warm heavy cream and milk into a large mixing bowl, sprinkle the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar on top, and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Whisk in the remaining sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the flour until a shaggy dough forms, then knead with a stand mixer and dough hook for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise at room temperature for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, roll into a 16x12 inch rectangle, spread the softened butter, then sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt mixture evenly over the top.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long edge, seal the seam, and cut into 12 equal pieces; arrange them cut-side up in a buttered 9x13 inch pan.
- Cover the pan and let the rolls rise at room temperature for 45 to 60 minutes, or refrigerate overnight and bring to room temperature before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until lightly golden brown.
- While baking, melt butter for the glaze in a small saucepan, whisk in powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and add heavy cream until pourable.
- Let the rolls cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve.
Notes
You can refrigerate the shaped rolls overnight and bake fresh in the morning for convenience.
