Ingredients:

• Dough:
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 360g flour
  • 50g of sugar
  • 57 g softened butter
  • 185 g of warmed milk
  • 1 packet of dry yeast
  • Thick cream, for baking
• Filling:
  • Generous amounts of very soft butter
  • Sugar (to taste)
  • Cinnamon (to taste)
• Cream cheese frosting:
  • 200 g of fresh cheese
  • 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Start by mixing the lukewarm milk with the yeast. Let sit until the yeast is activated.
2. Add the egg, egg yolk, butter and sugar to the yeast mixture and mix until combined.
3. Gradually add the flour, mixing to form a sticky but workable dough. Cover and let rise for 1 hour, or for deeper flavor, up to 24 hours.
4. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface. Spread a generous layer of soft butter over the dough, then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
5. Roll out the dough firmly from one end to the other and cut it into slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.
6. Place the rolls in a buttered baking dish, leaving space between them for expansion. Let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
7. Pour heavy cream over the buns to ensure they are soft and gooey.
8. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake the buns for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
9. While the buns are baking, mix the cream cheese with the powdered sugar to create the frosting.
10. Remove the buns from the oven and, while they are still warm, spread the cream cheese frosting on them.

Enjoy these delicious Gooey Cinnamon Rolls, a sweet and indulgent treat perfect for any occasion or simply as a luxurious way to start your day!
