→ Dough

04 - 2 teaspoons olive oil
05 - 2 cold large eggs
06 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
07 - 4 cups bread flour
08 - 1/4 cup powdered milk
09 - 4 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
10 - 2/3 cup cold whole milk
11 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
12 - 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
13 - 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

→ Cinnamon Filling

14 - 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
15 - 1 teaspoon vanilla
16 - Pinch salt
17 - 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
18 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

→ Cream Cheese Glaze

19 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
20 - 1/8 teaspoon salt
21 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
22 - 2 cups confectioners' sugar
23 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

# Instructions:

01 - Heat up milk, water, and flour in a small pot. Whisk on low until the mix thickens into a pudding-like texture, which takes about 4-5 minutes.
02 - Combine tangzhong with sugar, butter, salt, and milk. Toss in the eggs, then slowly work in the flour. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
03 - Run the dough hook for around 8-10 minutes until the dough feels stretchy and smooth.
04 - Pop the dough into an oiled bowl, cover it tightly, and leave it in the fridge to chill for 8-12 hours.
05 - Flatten the dough into a rectangle, spread the cinnamon mix all over, roll it up, and slice into 12 sections.
06 - Let the slices sit and puff up for roughly 30-35 minutes.
07 - Bake for 28-32 minutes at 350°F, or until they're golden and have an internal temp of 190-205°F.
08 - Stir everything for the glaze together and smear it on the rolls while they're warm.

# Notes:

01 - Needs to rest in the fridge overnight
02 - Uses tangzhong for a fluffier result
03 - Tastes best when warm
