Ingredients:
Dough:
- 3/4 cup warm whole milk (110°F)
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2.25 tsp)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 tsp salt
Filling:
- 1/3 cup softened butter
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2.5 tbsp ground cinnamon (Makara or Ceylon)
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Cream Cheese Icing: 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
Method:
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a stand mixer bowl, combine the cooled tangzhong, bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add milk, egg, and knead on low using a dough hook for 2 minutes. Add softened butter and knead for 10–12 minutes until the dough is smooth, pulls away from the sides, and passes the windowpane test. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a flexible silicone spatula so all ingredients are smoothly and evenly incorporated.
Step 3: Second Rise
Arrange the rolls into a greased 9×9-inch pan. Cover loosely and proof for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
Step 4: Roll and Shape
Deflate the dough and roll it into a 12″ x 15″ rectangle. Spread 3 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over the surface. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly. Roll tightly from the long side, then slice into the bowl equal rolls.
Step 5: Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25–30 minutes until golden on top. Let them cool slightly before glazing.
Step 6: Make the Tangzhong
In a small saucepan, whisk together 3 tablespoons bread flour, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 cup milk. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens into a smooth paste (about 3–5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 7: Make the Glaze
Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions & Pairings
Serve slightly warm or at room temperature alongside a generous scoop of artisanal vanilla bean ice cream, a dollop of fresh whipped cream, or a steaming cup of freshly brewed dark roast coffee.
Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Reheat gently to preserve delicate flavors and textures.
Kitchen Wisdom & Success Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Bringing dairy and eggs to room temperature creates smooth, cohesive batters that rise evenly.
- Accurate Flour Measuring: Spoon flour into measuring cups and level with a knife to avoid dense, heavy baked goods.
- Cool Before Slicing: Let pastries cool completely so internal steam redistributes and textures set cleanly.
Flavor Variations & Adaptations
- Berry & Fruit Swirl: Fold in fresh raspberries, wild blueberries, or sliced bananas for juicy bursts of natural sweetness.
- Warm Spice Accent: Add a pinch of cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg, or pure vanilla bean paste for kitchen-fresh warmth.
