"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
For the Dough

1 cup warm milk (115 degrees)
2 1/2 tsp instant dry yeast
2 large eggs
1/3 cup Butter melted
4 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar

For the filling

1/2 cup butter almost melted
1 cup brown sugar

Mix some butter really good and add icing sugar, vanilla and a tiny amount of hot water. Mix until the correct amount and consistency is runny but thicker

Directions:
Directions:
1 Pour warm milk in a bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle yeast overtop.

2 Add eggs, butter, salt and sugar

3 Add flour and mix using the beater blade just until ingredient are barely combined. Allow mixture to rest for 5 minutes so the flour has time to soak up the liquids,

4 Scrape the dough off beater blade and remove it. Attach dough hook

5 Beat dough on medium speed for 5-7 minutes until it is elastic and smooth. dough will be tacky and all still be sticking to the sides of the bowl. that's ok! don't be tempted to add more flour.

6 Spray large bowl with cooking spray

7 Use rubber spatula to remove the dough from the user and bowl and place it in the greased large bowl.

8 Cover with towel or wax paper

9 Set bowl in warm place and all the dough to rest until double. I like to turn on the oven to lowest setting and place dough to rise on stove. Takes about 30 mins to rise, don't allow it to rise too much.

10 While the dough is rising, prepare the cinnamon filling. In a medium bowl coming the soft butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, mixing until combined, set aside

11 Sprinkle counter generously with flour. Turn out tend ought on counter and sprinkle with more flour on top.

12 Flour your rolling pin and roll out dough to 12x15" rectangle

13 Use rubber spatula to spread on cinnamon filling over the whole rectangle

14 Starting on the long end, roll the dough up tightly

15 Cut into 12 slices and place on a greased 9x13 pan

16 Cover pan and allow rolls to rise for 20 minutes or until double in size

17 Preheat oven 375

18 Warm cream until the chill is off. don't make it hot just not cold.

19 Once rolls have risen, pour warm cream over the top of the rolls, allowing it to soak down in and around the rolls

20 Bake at 375 for 17-19 minutes until rolls are golden brown and center rolls are cooked through

21 While rolls are cooling, prepare the icing

24 Spread frosting on cooled rolls

25 Store in air tight container
