Preparation:
-
Sponge:
- Mix ingredients until thoroughly combined.
- Cover and rest for 15 minutes, or until slightly puffed. Then, add to sponge:
- Knead for 8 minutes by hand or using the dough hook of a stand mixer. The dough will be sticky, but try to resist adding more flour. Adding too much flour will make the rolls stiff and dry. Using a bench scraper to assist in hand kneading is helpful.
- Place the dough in a bowl, cover loosely and allow to proof for 1 hour. Filling:
- Roll dough into a 24”x16” rectangle.
- Spread the butter across the dough.
- In a bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar together then sprinkle across the buttered dough.
- Starting at the long edge, roll the dough up to form a log.
- Divide the log into 12 even pieces and place cut side up in a 9”X13” baking pan.
- Cover and proof in the refrigerator overnight, or at room temperature for about 1.5 hours. The dough will be puffed.
- Bake in preheated 375˚F oven for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness after 20 minutes. Rolls will be dark golden brown Optional Cream Cheese Glaze:
- Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, and using electric mixer, beat until smooth.
- Spread glaze on rolls. Serve warm or at room temperature.
