Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm milk and melted butter, and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Make the Filling
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter until well combined.
Roll and Fill
- Preheat the oven to 350?F (175?C). Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 8 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the Rolls
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare the Cr?me Br?l?e Topping
- In a saucepan, heat heavy cream until just simmering. In a bowl, whisk together sugar, vanilla, and egg yolks. Gradually add the hot cream to the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- Pour the mixture over the baked rolls and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
Caramelize the Sugar
- Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over the top of the rolls. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crispy.
