- 1 tbsp sugar
- 0.33 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.25 cup melted butter
- 0.5 cup butter, room temp
- 1 cup (demerara) brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 eyeball some nutmeg
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup softened butter
- 1 block cream cheese, room temp
- 0.33 cup butter, room temp
- 2 splashes vanilla
- 1.5 cup icing sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp for each roll heavy cream

## Instructions

1. Add yeast and 1 tbsp sugar to warm milk, stir and let stand for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
2. Add the rest of the dough ingredients to a bowl, add the yeast mixture, and mix with a spatula until a dough forms.
3. Mix the dough in a stand mixer on the lowest setting with a dough hook for 8 minutes (dough will be slightly sticky).
4. Place the dough in a lightly floured large bowl and cover with a damp cloth.
5. Heat your oven to 175F until it warms up, turn it off, and let your dough rest in there for 2 hours.
6. Combine your filling ingredients.
7. Roll out the dough.
8. Spread out the filling on the dough.
9. Use a pizza cutter to cut rolls (you do want thinner strips since they’re gonna rise to get about 9-12 rolls).
10. Make your caramel by whisking the ingredients until lighter in colour.
11. Spread the caramel on the bottom of a 9x13 ceramic dish.
12. Place 8 rolls and cover again with a damp cloth for another 30 minutes on your counter.
13. Add 1 tbsp heavy cream to each cinnamon roll.
14. Bake at 350F for 25 minutes.
15. For the cream cheese icing, blend all the ingredients in a food processor.
16. Spread the icing onto hot cinnamon rolls.
