Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm whole milk (around 110°F), active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- In a stand mixer, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, and additional sugar. Gradually mix in the eggs, vanilla extract, and softened unsalted butter.
- Once combined, pour in the bloomed yeast mixture and knead for about 7-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Prepare the caramel sauce by combining butter, light brown sugar, cinnamon, honey, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan.
- Mix softened butter, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and a dash of salt in a medium bowl for the filling.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle, spread the filling, roll it tightly, and cut into 12 pieces.
- Arrange in a baking dish over the caramel sauce and let rise for another hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake for 29-32 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating softened butter and cream cheese, then adding powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Once baked, let cool for 10 minutes before frosting and serve warm.
